Experimental Exposures of Boreal Toads (Bufo boreas) to a Pathogenic Chytrid Fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) (2006, unknown): “…tigrinum), apparently carry the pathogen on their epidermis without developing lethal infections; therefore, they can serve as reservoirs for the transmission of chytridiomycosis to susceptible species (Daszak et al., 2003; Davidson et al., 2003; Hanselmann et al., 2004; Weldon et al., 2004).”
Catastrophic Population Declines and Extinctions in Neotropical Harlequin Frogs (Bufonidae: Atelopus) 1 (2005, background): “…declines in Venezuela and Ecuador on these species (La Marca & Reinthaler 1991, Ordoñez 1996, Ron et al. 2003), although it is unclear whether these predators feed on Atelopus (Hayes & Jennings 1986, Hanselmann et al. 2004), or whether they might serve as disease vectors (Hanselmann et al. 2004).”
Amphibian Pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Is Inhibited by the Cutaneous Bacteria of Amphibian Species (2006, background): “dendrobatidis and are ongoing (Ron and Merino, 2000; Bosch et al., 2001; Hanselmann et al., 2004).”
Pattern of distribution of the American bullfrog Rana catesbeiana in Europe (2007, background): “…Equipe Gestion des Populations Invasives, INRA-Unité SCRIBE, Campus de Beaulieu, 35 042 Rennes Cedex, France infected by B. dendrobatidis without developing chytridiomycosis, the introduction of bullfrogs can be an important vector of this disease (Hanselmann et al. 2004; Garner et al. 2006).”
Infection of an invasive frog Eleutherodactylus coqui by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Hawaii (2005, background): “Like other notable amphibian invaders (Daszak et al., 2003; Hanselmann et al., 2004; Pessier et al., 1999; Weldon et al., 2004), E. coqui is now known to be a carrier of B. dendrobatidis in locations outside of its native range.”
Problems and opportunities managing invasive Bullfrogs: is there any hope? (2007, background): “Recent work raises the possibility that Bullfrogs may serve as a reservoir of a chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Longcore et al. 1999), pathogenic to some amphibians (Hanselmann et al. 2004, Pearl and Green 2005, Garner et al. 2006).”
Proportion of individuals with anti-Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis skin bacteria is associated with population persistence in the frog Rana muscosa (2010, background): “Interestingly, some species of amphibians coexist with Bd whereas others succumb to disease (Davidson et al., 2003; Hanselmann et al., 2004; Retallick et al., 2004).”
Predicting the Distribution of the Amphibian Pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in the New World 1 (2005, background): “Two neotropical localities in Uruguay and the Venezuelan Andes (Mazzoni et al. 2003, Hanselmann et al. 2004), where B. dendrobatidis has been reported as a pathogen of the exotic Rana catesbeiana were predicted as present by all models (OI = 1).”
The role of infectious diseases in biological conservation (2009, background): “chytridiomycosis and acts as a carrier host (Mazzoni et al., 2003; Hanselmann et al., 2004).”
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).”
AMPHIBIAN POPULATION DECLINES AT SAVANNAH RIVER SITE ARE LINKED TO CLIMATE, NOT CHYTRIDIOMYCOSIS (2005, background): “Small, focal lesions have also been reported in wildcaught introduced and captive-reared bullfrogs (R. catesbeiana [Mazzoni et al. 2003, Hanselmann et al. 2004]).”
The Novel and Endemic Pathogen Hypotheses: Competing Explanations for the Origin of Emerging Infectious Diseases of Wildlife (2005, background): “dendrobatidis and may be a carrier (Daszak et al. 2003; Hanselmann et al. 2004).”
Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (2007, background): “, and tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum), all of which have been introduced to new areas (Collins et al. 1988; Mazzoni et al. 2003; Hanselmann et al. 2004; Weldon et al. 2004).”
Conservation of Brazilian Amphibians (2005, background): “Although it has yet to be documented in Brazil, it has been recorded in other South American countries (Ron & Merino 2000; Bonaccorso et al. 2003; Mazzoni et al. 2003; Hanselmann et al. 2004).”
