Drivers underpinning heterogeneity in host-pathogen systems

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The amphibian-infecting chytrid fungi, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) cause the disease chytridiomycosis and are major agents of global amphibian decline. Despite catastrophic species loss associated with outbreaks of these pathogens, there is within- and between-species heterogeneity in susceptibility to infection, of which our understanding is limited. In this th...
