• Trade in wild anurans vectors the urodelan pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans into Europe (2017, background): “The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) emerged in Europe, causing extirpation events in fire salamanders (Martel et al., 2013; Spitzen et al., 2016), and posing a potential threat to the survival of most western Palearctic urodelans (Martel et al.”
• Integral chain management of wildlife diseases (2020, result): “The recent emergence of its sister species B. salamandrivorans (Martel et al., 2013) raised the alarm for a possible new wave of declines and extinctions similar to that caused by B. dendrobatidis (Martel et al., 2014; Yap, Koo, Ambrose, Wake, & Vredenburg, 2015).”
