• Invasion Complexities: The Diverse Impacts of Nonnative Species on Amphibians (2014, background): “It is hypervirulent to some species (Blaustein et al., 2005; Searle et al., 2011) and has emerged across at least five continents (Farrer et al.”
• Dynamics of an emerging disease drive large-scale amphibian population extinctions (2010, background): “Tadpoles are typically little affected by chytridiomycosis, but sublethal and lethal effects are known (12, 13).”
• Tadpole Mouthpart Depigmentation as an Accurate Indicator of Chytridiomycosis, an Emerging Disease of Amphibians (2006, background): “Although chytridiomycosis causes mortality in post-metamorphic stages of numerous anuran species (Berger et al., 1998; Nichols et al., 2001), tadpoles generally carry the fungus without experiencing increased mortality (Rachowicz and Vredenburg, 2004; but see Blaustein et al., 2005).”
• Distribution and environmental limitations of an amphibian pathogen in the Rocky Mountains, USA (2008, background): “These data are needed given that Bd is a known pathogen of boreal toads in the laboratory (Blaustein et al., 2005; Carey et al., 2006) and has been isolated from sick and dying toads in the field (Raverty and Reynolds, 2001; Muths et al., 2003).”
• Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “Bd is hypothesized to produce lethal toxins either before or after infection (13), interfere with water uptake and lead to death due to dehydration (9), or cause sharp osmotic imbalances that are postulated to interfere with water regulation and/or neurological function (118).”
