#Bsal and beyond: Task force helps stave off #amphibian disease threat https://phys.org/news/2024-05-bsal-task-stave-amphibian-disease.html #conservation
"In the 90s, an emerging disease caused by #Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis led to devastating losses of #amphibians in the US and elsewhere. In 2013, researchers discovered a related pathogen in Europe—B. salamandrivorans. A year later, researchers formed the Bsal Task Force to forestall invasion of the pathogen into North America. Today, the group's work is helping keep Bsal at bay."
