Endemic Infection of the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus in a Frog Community Post-Decline
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A longitudinal study of the fungus in individually marked frogs sheds new light on the effect of this threatening infectious process in field, as distinct from laboratory, conditions, and finds a seasonal peak of infection in the cooler months, with no evidence of interannual variation.
