Host-associated microbes are vital for combatting infections and maintaining health. In
amphibians, certain skin-associated bacteria inhibit the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium …

Global climate change has led to more extreme thermal events. Plants and animals harbour
diverse microbial communities, which may be vital for their physiological performance and …

The emerging fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is responsible
for the catastrophic decline of European salamanders and poses a threat to amphibians …

Globalized infectious diseases are causing species declines worldwide, but their source often
remains elusive. We used whole-genome sequencing to solve the spatiotemporal origins …

Animals live in symbiosis with numerous microbe species. While some can protect hosts from
infection and benefit host health, components of the microbiota or changes to the microbial …

Mountains are an essential component of the global life-support system. They are characterized
by a rugged, heterogenous landscape with rapidly changing environmental conditions …

The fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) causes chytridiomycosis, a lethal epizootic
disease of amphibians. Rapid identification of the pathogen and biosecurity is essential to …

Background The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) threatens amphibian
biodiversity and ecosystem stability worldwide. Amphibian skin microbial community …

Protective microbes have a major role in shaping host–pathogen interactions, but their
relative importance in the structure of the host microbiota remains unclear. Here, we used a …

Emerging fungal pathogens are a growing threat to global health, ecosystems, food security,
and the world economy. Over the last century, environmental change and globalized …
