Spread of Chytridiomycosis Has Caused the Rapid Global Decline and Extinction of Frogs (2007, background): “causing mortality (McDonald et al., 2005; Hanselmann et al., 2005; Woodhams and Alford, 2005).”
Large‐scale seasonal variation in the prevalence and severity of chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “…surveys of apparently healthy frogs in Western Australia (Aplin & Kirkpatrick, 2000) and North Queensland (Retallick, McCallum & Speare, 2004; McDonald et al., 2005; Woodhams & Alford, 2005) found a significantly higher prevalence of chytridiomycosis in the winter months of June, July and…”
Experimental Exposures of Boreal Toads (Bufo boreas) to a Pathogenic Chytrid Fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) (2006, unknown): “Further, B. dendrobatidis can persist in an endemic state in healthy frogs once an epidemic wave has passed through amphibian populations (McDonald et al., 2005; Retallick et al., 2004).”
Distribution models for the amphibian chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Costa Rica: proposing climatic refuges as a conservation tool (2009, background): “This is in direct agreement with observations from North America and Australia, where infection prevalence is lower at low elevations and during the (warm) summer (conversely, most mortality events occur during the winter, when temperatures are lower; Bradley et al., 2002; Berger et al., 2004; Retal”
Disease dynamics vary spatially and temporally in a North American amphibian (2011, background): “…show variable responses to Bd, ranging from no observed effects (Garner et al., 2006; Longcore et al., 2007), to sub-lethal fitness costs (Retallick and Miera, 2007), to episodic chytridiomycosis outbreaks and concomitant population declines (Kriger and Hero, 2006; McDonald et al., 2005).”
