Ecology and applications of cutaneous mechanisms of resistance to amphibian chytridiomycosis

Creator:

Nebergall, Emily E.

Abstract:

Amphibian biodiversity is in rapid global decline, due in part to the fungal disease chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Susceptibility to Bd and chytridiomycosis varies between species and populations. Skin peptides and symbiotic skin bacteria appear to be important mechanisms of Bd resistance. However, not much is known about...
