Distribution and environmental limitations of an amphibian pathogen in the Rocky Mountains, USA (2008, background): “Furthermore, detection of Bd via PCR in a population is strongly influenced by season and tempera- ture (Kriger and Hero, 2007) and we did not randomize the timing of sampling.”
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].”
Life history tradeoffs influence mortality associated with the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (2009, background): “Evidence for context-dependent virulence and patterns of infection support this (Parris 2004, Green and Sherman 2001, Blaustein et al. 2005, Kriger and Hero 2006a ).”
Survivorship in Wild Frogs Infected with Chytridiomycosis (2006, background): “All seven frogs that cleared their infections first tested positive in August, September, or October, the time of year when infection prevalence in this population peaks ( Kriger and Hero, 2006 ).”
The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is non‐randomly distributed across amphibian breeding habitats (2007, unknown): “We assigned a positive infection status to any frog on whose swab at least one B. dendrobatidis zoospore equivalent was detected (Kriger et al ., 2007).”
Disease dynamics vary spatially and temporally in a North American amphibian (2011, background): “…show variable responses to Bd, ranging from no observed effects (Garner et al., 2006; Longcore et al., 2007), to sub-lethal fitness costs (Retallick and Miera, 2007), to episodic chytridiomycosis outbreaks and concomitant population declines (Kriger and Hero, 2006; McDonald et al., 2005).”
