• Distribution models for the amphibian chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Costa Rica: proposing climatic refuges as a conservation tool (2009, background): “…both temperature and humidity has been likewise suggested to control the prevalence of the pathogen and the timing of chytridiomycosis outbreaks in the wild (Bradley et al ., 2002; Berger et al ., 2004; Retallick et al ., 2004; McDonald et al ., 2005; Woodhams & Alford, 2005; Kriger & Hero, 2006).”
• Large‐scale seasonal variation in the prevalence and severity of chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “For example, 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”
• Global Amphibian Extinction Risk Assessment for the Panzootic Chytrid Fungus (2009, background): “The in vitro growth optimum of Bd is at 17–25 °C, whereas temperatures higher than 29 °C, freezing and desiccation are lethal [11], findings that are supported by observations in the field [12-16].”
• 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).”
• The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is non‐randomly distributed across amphibian breeding habitats (2007, background): “Furthermore, tadpoles serve as ideal reservoir hosts for B. dendrobatidis (Woodhams & Alford, 2005), and can transmit infection to uninfected adults (Rachowicz & Vredenburg, 2004).”
