Skin microbiomes of frogs vary among individuals and body regions, revealing differences that reflect known patterns of chytrid infection

2025-02-08

Abstract excerpt

The amphibian skin microbiome is an important line of defense against pathogens including the deadly chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ). Intra-species variation in disease susceptibility and intra-individual variation in infection distribution across the skin, therefore, may relate to differences in skin microbiomes. However, characterization of microbiome variation within and among amphibian...
