Spread of Chytridiomycosis Has Caused the Rapid Global Decline and Extinction of Frogs (2007, background): “…declines in Australia, Central America, North America, and Spain (Berger et al., 1998; Bosch et al., 2001; Muths et al., 2003; Lips et al., 2006; Schloegel et al., 2006) to sites with similar patterns of decline (Bell et al., 2004; La Marca et al., 2005; Scherer et al., 2005) and using the…”
Emerging fungal threats to animal, plant and ecosystem health (2012, unknown): “invasion/endemic host population early 1980’s [11, 12]”
The role of infectious diseases in biological conservation (2009, background): “, 2002), a chytridiomycosis pandemic in amphibians (Daszak et al., 1999; Schloegel et al., 2006) and the rapid spread of infectious facial tumors in Tasmanian devils (Jones et al.”
Widespread historical presence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in African pipid frogs (2010, background): “Susceptibility to chytridiomycosis varies widely in amphibians, with some species being driven to extinction, whereas sympatric species remain apparently healthy carriers of infection (Daszak et al., 2003; Schloegel et al., 2006).”
Management of disease in wild mammals (2009, background): “Disease has already been documented as a cause of extinction of a land snail (Partula turgida) (Cunningham and Dazsak 1998), and several amphibian species (Schloegel et al. 2006; Skerrat et al. 2007).”
