Imminent invasion of the chytrid fungus threatens the last naïve amphibian biodiversity hotspots

2026-02-04

Abstract excerpt

While the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ) is driving catastrophic biodiversity loss worldwide, some amphibian communities persist seemingly unaffected despite occurring in climates conducive to pathogen establishment. These amphibian communities may remain epidemiologically naïve. As mitigation of Bd is rarely successful after establishment, identifying remaining Bd -free refuges...
