Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

DNA evidence points to Asian amphibians as the source of a fatal disease that has been wiping out frogs across the globe.  

A decade after chytridiomycosis killed scores of amphibians in Panama, some species are recovering. New research indicates why.  

Researchers eliminated chytrid fungus from a Mediterranean island toad population using antifungals and disinfectants.

Mistimed sleep disrupts human transcriptome; canine tumor genome; de novo Drosophila genes; UVA light lowers blood pressure; aquatic microfauna fight frog-killing fungus

Filter-feeders emerge as potential defenders against a deadly amphibian disease.

Chytrid fungus has likely driven the decline of two South American frog species named for Charles Darwin.

Global trade in live bullfrogs and a more volatile, changing climate worsen a deadly amphibian fungus.

Human development may destroy natural habitats, but it could also provide amphibians with a safe haven from deadly fungal infections.
