- Parasites in the food web: linking amphibian malformations and aquatic eutrophication (2004, background): “Although heightened surveillance undoubtedly accounts for some observations, historical studies indicate that, at least in some areas, the increase is real (Hoppe 2000; Johnson et al. 2003).”
- Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (2007, background): “2005), although most cases of widespread limb deformities in nature have been linked to parasite infections (Johnson et al. 2003).”
- Citizen Science as a Tool for Augmenting Museum Collection Data from Urban Areas (2017, background): “…sources of data about morphology, genetics, epidemiology, and disease spread, diet, or parasitism rates or the change in these variables through time (Roy et al., 1994; Fanning et al., 2002; Payne and Sorenson, 2002; Johnson et al., 2003; Suarez and Tsutsui, 2004; Babin-Fenske et al., 2008).”
- Effects of environmental change on helminth infections in amphibians: exploring the emergence of Ribeiroia and Echinostoma infections in North America. (2009, unknown): “However, some reports suggest that the frequency and severity of these deformities may have increased in recent years (e.g., Johnson et al. 2003 ; Johnson and Lunde 2005) , possibly in association with environmental change.”
- Echinostome infection in green frogs (Rana clamitans) is stage and age dependent (2007, background): “According to several recent studies, two trematodes seem to emerge in amphibians in urbanized and otherwise anthropogenically modified environments (Johnson et al., 2003; Johnson & Chase, 2004; Beasley et al., 2005; Skelly et al., 2006).”
