Invasion Complexities: The Diverse Impacts of Nonnative Species on Amphibians (2014, background): “Lithobates catesbeianus may also be a carrier of the chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd), that causes chytridiomycosis, a disease that negatively affects amphibian populations and is associated with global amphibian declines (Daszak et al., 2004; Briggs et al., 2010; Duffus and Cunni”

AMPHIBIAN POPULATION DECLINES AT SAVANNAH RIVER SITE ARE LINKED TO CLIMATE, NOT CHYTRIDIOMYCOSIS (2005, background): “In experimental studies, bullfrogs did not exhibit clinical signs of chytridiomycosis, despite inoculation with large numbers of B. dendrobatidis zoospores (Daszak et al. 2004).”

Chytridiomycosis Widespread in Anurans of Northeastern United States (2007, background): “This is probably true for the bullfrog; even inoculaion with millions of zoospores results in only minor infections (Daszak et al. 2004).”
INVESTIGATING THE POPULATION‐LEVEL EFFECTS OF CHYTRIDIOMYCOSIS: AN EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASE OF AMPHIBIANS (2005, background): “Some widespread species, such as Rana catesbeiana (American bullfrog) (Daszak et al. 2004) and Xenopus laevis (Parker et al. 2002), appear to be carrier species, in which infected adults are apparently unaffected.”
Large‐scale seasonal variation in the prevalence and severity of chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “Furthermore, it encompasses the timeframe in which experimentally infected laboratory frogs often develop clinical/lethal infections (Nichols et al., 2001; Daszak et al., 2004).”
Survivorship in Wild Frogs Infected with Chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “High variation in the population-level effects of chytridiomycosis is mirrored by a wide range of disease outcomes at the individual-level, as susceptibility of captive amphibians to chytridiomycosis has been shown to vary across species, age classes, and thermal conditions (Lamirande and Nichols, 2”
Spread of Chytridiomycosis Has Caused the Rapid Global Decline and Extinction of Frogs (2007, background): “However, some species are resistant or developing resistance, and some populations of susceptible species, which live in adverse environmental conditions for Bd, are protected (Ardipradja, 2001; Daszak et al., 2004; Australian Government Department of the Environment and Heritage, 2004; Retallick et”
