endemic infection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in a frog community post-decline.the chytrid fungus batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has been implicated in the decline and extinction of numerous frog species worldwide. in queensland, australia, it has been proposed as the cause of the decline or apparent extinction of at least 14 high-elevation rainforest frog species. one of these, taudactylus eungellensis, disappeared from rainforest streams in eungella national park in 1985-1986, but a few remnant populations were subsequently discovered. here, we report the analysis of b. ...200415502873
infection intensity and sampling locality affect batrachochytrium dendrobatidis distribution among body regions on green-eyed tree frogs litoria genimaculata.batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (bd) causes chytridiomycosis, which has caused devastating amphibian population declines. little is known about the biology of bd on hosts, and techniques for diagnosing it on living and preserved animals are still evolving. we investigated the spatial distribution of bd on the integument of naturally infected australian hylid frogs litoria genimaculata at 4 rain forest localities in northern queensland, australia. we collected 555 samples by swabbing 111 individua ...200818998583
