- Atelopus varius - Wikipedia
Atelopus varius, the Costa Rican variable harlequin toad or clown frog, is a small Neotropical true toad from the family Bufonidae [2] Once ranging from Costa Rica to Panama, A varius is now listed as critically endangered and has been reduced to a single remnant population near Quepos, Costa Rica (rediscovered in 2003), and has only relict populations in western Panama [1]
- Boreal Toad Recovery | U. S. Fish Wildlife Service
Our staff attends the annual Boreal Toad Recovery Team meeting Topics discussed include further spread of chytrid fungus and reduced population numbers range wide However, promising research on chytrid resistance and chytrid-specific bacteria that fights off the fungus may help stabilize populations in the future

Clinical trials with itraconazole as a treatment for chytrid fungal infections in amphibians Diseases of Aquatic Organisms 101:95-104 PDF Chatfield, M W H , P Moler, and C L Richards-Zawacki 2012 The amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, in fully aquatic salamanders from the Southeastern United States PLoS One 7
- Amphibian Pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Is . . .
Population declines of amphibian species in many parts of the world are associated with a lethal fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Using laboratory challenge assays, we describe the inhibition of B dendrobatidis by members of eight genera of bacteria isolated from the skin of two amphibian species that exhibit parental care behavior (Plethodon cinereus and Hemidactylium
- The Frog Swabbers - California Academy of Sciences
Attacking the research from a variety of angles, the CAS team is hoping to piece together the history of the Chytrid fungus in an effort to change its future effects on amphibian species Uncovering the history, geographical path and virulence of existing strains will help direct conservation efforts and stop the shipping of potential host species
- A dilution effect in the emerging amphibian pathogen - PNAS
Thus, in developing a conservation plan for A boreas and other species suffering Bd-related declines, it is essential to consider the presence of other amphibian species in predicting the prevalence and severity of Bd infection Additionally, other susceptible amphibian species may exhibit similar patterns with Bd infection and species richness
- Chytrid fungus infection in zebrafish demonstrates that the . . .
Aquatic chytrid fungi threaten amphibian biodiversity worldwide owing to their ability to rapidly expand their geographical distributions and to infect a wide range of hosts Combating this risk requires an understanding of chytrid host range to identify potential reservoirs of infection and to safe …
