Life history tradeoffs influence mortality associated with the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (2009, background): “For example, Bd exhibits extraordinary host generality (Green and Sherman 2001, Bonaccorso et al. 2003, La Marca et al. 2005, Scherer et al. 2005, Bosch and Marti´nez-Solano 2006, Kriger and Hero 2006b, Bosch et al. 2007) contrasted against hostspecific patterns of mortality (Parris 2004, Blaustei”
Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “Some species carry sustained infections in the wild with little or no evidence of either mortality or population decline (7, 49, 55, 83, 106, 124), whereas other species are extirpated by the emergence of Bd (9, 16, 64, 107).”
Resistance to chytridiomycosis varies among amphibian species and is correlated with skin peptide defenses (2007, background): “Patterns of amphibian population declines in many localities worldwide show that some species decline while other sympatric species do not (Alford & Richards, 1999; Lips, 1999; McDonald & Alford, 1999; Parker et al., 2002; Stuart et al., 2004; Kriger & Hero, 2006 ).”
