Mark Wilber and colleagues from the Amphibian Disease Lab have published a new paper with the British Ecological Society on amphibian pathogen resistance and tolerance.
Putative resistance and tolerance mechanisms have little impact on disease progression for an emerging salamander pathogen
Emerging Pathogens and a Current‐Use Pesticide: Potential Impacts on Eastern Hellbenders
Dr. Patrick Cusaac and colleagues from the Amphibian Disease Laboratory have published a new paper in the Journal of Aquatic Animal Health. The research suggests that Eastern hellbenders that are exposed to both the ranavirus pathogen and Roundup herbicide have little chance of survival.
PLOS Pathogens: Temperature affects susceptibility of newts to skin-eating fungus
Eastern newt populations in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada are at greatest risk of infection with a new skin-eating fungus, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), according to a study published February 18 in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens by Matthew Gray of the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, and colleagues.
