Panzootic chytrid fungus exploits diverse amphibian host environments through plastic infection strategies

2021-12-01

Abstract excerpt

While many pathogens are limited to a single host, others can jump from host to host, which likely contributes to the emergence of infectious diseases. Despite this threat to biodiversity, traits associated with overcoming eco-evolutionary barriers to achieve host niche expansions are not well understood. Here, we examined the case of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ), a multi-host pathogen that infects the...
