• Dynamics of an emerging disease drive large-scale amphibian population extinctions (2010, background): “range, causing the extinction of hundreds of mountain yellowlegged frog populations (21, 22).”
• Survivorship in Wild Frogs Infected with Chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “While infection by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis often leads to death in experimentally infected frogs (Berger et al., 1999; Briggs et al., 2005) and in wild frogs from naive populations with no prior exposure to the fungus (Lips et al., 2006), several laboratory trials have shown that some…”
• Symbiotic bacteria contribute to innate immune defenses of the threatened mountain yellow-legged frog, Rana muscosa (2007, background): “The factors that lead to extinction or to persistence of amphibian populations with Bd are currently under examination (Briggs et al., 2005; Bosch and Martinez-Solano, 2006; Woodhams et al., 2006a,b).”
• Proportion of individuals with anti-Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis skin bacteria is associated with population persistence in the frog Rana muscosa (2010, background): “Even within species, some populations can coexist with Bd whereas others decline to extinction (Briggs et al., 2005).”
• Distribution and environmental limitations of an amphibian pathogen in the Rocky Mountains, USA (2008, background): “For example, Briggs et al. (2005) point out that long-term persistence of Bd at a breeding pond may depend on some individuals surviving and carrying the fungus past metamorphosis (i.e., resistance).”
• Infectious diseases in wildlife: the community ecology context (2007, background): “For instance, there are resistant and susceptible populations of Rana muscosa in California (Briggs et al. 2005), remnant populations of Taudactylus eungellensis in Queensland, Australia that persist in spite of the presence of B dendrobatidis (Retallick et al.”
• Global emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian chytridiomycosis in space, time, and host. (2009, background): “, ranavirus (27)], yet experiments have shown repeatedly that Bd is the primary cause of death in numerous amphibian hosts (4, 13, 18, 22, 30, 38, 39, 41, 85, 92, 96).”
