Introduction
By [Eva Brazer]
Amphibian species around the world are experiencing unprecedented population decline due to the emerging infectious disease chytridiomycosis, which is caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd).[2] The chytrid pathogen is considered an emerging infectious disease because it was discovered and described only in the last twenty years, and has continued to spread globally causing devastating effects.[3] Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has been documented in hundreds of amphibian species, and reports of infection in new species and geographic locations continue to accumulate rapidly.[4]
