experimental infection of native north carolina salamanders with batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.chytridiomycosis is an often fatal fungal disease of amphibians caused by batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. this disease has been implicated in the worldwide decline of many anuran species, but studies of chytridiomycosis in wild salamanders are limited. between august 2006 and december 2006, we tested wild amphibians in north carolina, usa (n=212) by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). we identified three pcr-positive animals: one rana clamitans and two plethodontid salamanders. we experimentally in ...200919617473
patterns of trombiculid mite (hannemania dunni) parasitism among plethodontid salamanders in the western piedmont of north carolina.trombiculid mites are known to parasitize a variety of amphibian species, yet few comparisons of mite parasitism among amphibian species have been made. in this study, we investigated patterns of trombiculid mite parasitism among 3 plethodontid salamanders (desmognathus fuscus, eurycea cirrigera, and plethodon cylindraceus) in the western piedmont of north carolina. all 3 salamander species were parasitized by a single species, hannemania dunni. desmognathus fuscus harbored mites more frequently ...200818605777
