With the recent discovery of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in Europe, numerous studies are attempting to understand its pathogenicity, and hopefully, ward off infections in other locations. However, there is no standard set of methodologies for studying the pathogen.
Researchers Find that Experimental Methodologies Affect Pathogenicity of Bsal Fungus
Graduate Students Win Awards at 2020 UTCVM Research Day
Congratulations to Ashley Reeves Wilmoth and Anastasia Towe, two of our graduate students who won awards at the 2020 UTCVM Research Day!
Publication: Small-mammal characteristics affect tick communities in southwestern Tennessee (USA)
Dr. Trout Fryxell and colleagues have published a new paper in the International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife.
New Mosquito Publication in Journal of Vector Ecology
Dr. Trout Fryxell and colleages have published a new puclication on two mosquito species: Aedes albopictus oviposits with other Aedes species in artificial oviposition cups: a case study in Knox County, Tennessee, U.S.A.
New Amphibian Disease Lab Publication in PLOS One
UTIA’s Amphibian Disease Lab has a new publication on Plos One: Experimental methodologies can affect pathogenicity of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans infections. The research was led former undergraduate students Rajeev Kumar and Daniel Malagon.
