Frog saunas! Simple, mini greenhouses keep frogs warm in winter and help them fight off deadly fungal infections. Bonus points for the researcher being called Dr Waddle.

#Frog 'saunas' help #endangered #frogs survive the devastating impacts of a deadly fungal disease
When frogs shifted to hotspot shelters, #chytrid infections were reduced significantly.
"The whole thing is like a mini med spa for frogs," says Dr. Waddle.
"In these simple little hotspots, frogs can go and heat up their bodies to a temperature that destroys the infections." https://phys.org/news/2024-06-frog-saunas-endangered-frogs-survive.html

‘Frog saunas’ could help save endangered species from the devastating chytrid fungus https://theconversation.com/our-frog-saunas-could-help-save-endangered-species-from-the-devastating-chytrid-fungus-231605

These “frog saunas” allow affected amphibians to warm up and bake off their infections and are so simple you can build one using supplies from the hardware store. 🐸 #Frogs #Amphibians #Chytrid #Extinction #Wildlife #Nature

A Model Toadlet
https://nautil.us/a-model-toadlet-596075/

"just a few millimeters long, the #PumpkinToadlet is diminutive in size but flamboyant in coloration. This tiny neon creature, which lives on #Brazil’s southeast coast, has become a symbol of #conservation and protection for the #AtlanticForest... scientists have identified individuals of the species that seem to be resistant to the #chytrid fungus—they recover from it all on their own."

A new #vaccine against the deadly #chytrid #fungus in #frogs can shift the composition of the #microbiome, making frogs more resilient to future exposure to the fungus.

#chytrid people, what’s an alternative to the MW113 swabs? The Aussie supplier just quoted me nearly $900 for the 1250 box 😳

Such a cool example of eukaryotic #excitability:
Rapid calcium influx triggered by the presence of mucus induces encystation of the ciliated zoospore of a frog-killing #chytrid fungus
Cilium mediated??

I wanna follow anyone who studies or works on #chytrid, so if that's you let me know! I'm not just looking for people working with #amphibian chytrids - I wanna hear about all kinds of #chytridiomycetes #fungi! 🍄 🐸
