Among the many threats to the global biodiversity, emerging infectious diseases are considered the main causes. Ranavirus (Rv) and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) are responsible for most declines of amphibian populations, which is the most threatened vertebrate taxa. Both Bd and Rv are spread via water and via direct contact with a sick individual, making dispersion extremely effecti…
Emerging infectious diseases are considered a major threat to the global biodiversity. In general, pathogens emerge in populations either because they are novel or due to a decrease in host immune system. Ranavirus (Rv) and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) are two emergent infectious pathogens responsible for declines of amphibian populations worldwide. Both Bd and Rv are spread via wa…
