Some like it cold: interactions between the northern frog biting mosquito, Culex territans (Walker 1856), and its amphibian hosts
… be the deadliest animals in the world due to the diseases they spread. Naturally, most research centers around anthropophilic disease vector mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti or Anopheles gambiae. However, mosquitoes can feed on, and pose a threat to, more than humans. In fact, mosquitoes can …

Tetrodotoxin, fungal pathogen infection, and bacterial microbiome associations are variable in the skin microecosystems of two Taricha Newt species
<p>Chytridiomycosis is an amphibian disease linked to population declines and species extinctions, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). While chytridiomycosis can result in host death, some amphibians are less susceptible to severe infections through intrinsic factors …

Evaluating efficacy of anti-Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis probiotic treatment on Pacific Chorus Frogs (Pseudacris regilla) at current and modeled climate change temperatures
<p>Amphibian populations are declining due to a variety of threats, including the chytrid fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the causative agent of the disease chytridiomycosis. Climate change and other stressors can have complicated interactions with amphibian disease. Some …

Effects of canopy cover on the landscape epidemiology of an amphibian chytrid fungus
… is a globally distributed fungal pathogen of amphibians that causes the disease chytridiomycosis and is one of the major contributors to recent population declines of amphibians. The prevalence of Bd should vary spatially across landscapes because survival of the pathogen is influenced by …

Host-Pathogen Ecology: Effects of Species Ecology and Environmental Factors on the Intensity and Distribution of Disease Among Illinois Amphibians
The worldwide decline of amphibians is due to several interacting factors that vary in their involvement and severity according to species, geography, environment, and individual response (Wake and Vredenburg 2008; Gahl et al. 2011). One of those threats has caused population declines globally …

Interactive effects of wildfire and disturbance history on amphibians and their parasites
… abundance, and infection status of 3 native amphibians. In Chapter 1, I used long-term data on wetland occupancy to show the long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) and Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris) were resistant to change during the first 6 years after wildfire, but …
