Chytridiomycosis is a disease caused by the fungal chytrid pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. This pathogen is associated with the global loss of hundreds of species of amphibians and represents a spectacular loss of biodiversity, some say the worst in recorded history. https://padlet.com/wardb3/xozzxjg230xm/wish/128135977 2016-10-04 12:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wardb3/xozzxjg230xm/wish/128135977 Globally, the loss of amphibian specieshas sent shock waves rippling through aquatic ecosystems and there’s no sign the decline is slowing down, https://padlet.com/wardb3/xozzxjg230xm/wish/128136082 2016-10-04 12:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wardb3/xozzxjg230xm/wish/128136082 Africa, Germany , U.S, consumer numerous amounts of frogs daily https://padlet.com/wardb3/xozzxjg230xm/wish/128136212 2016-10-04 12:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wardb3/xozzxjg230xm/wish/128136212 https://padlet.com/wardb3/xozzxjg230xm/wish/128136801 I see the problem]]> 2016-10-04 12:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wardb3/xozzxjg230xm/wish/128136801 people kill frogs for biology https://padlet.com/wardb3/xozzxjg230xm/wish/128137179 people eat frogs to survive
Chytridiomycosis has been linked to dramatic population declines or even extinctions of amphibian species in western North America, Central America, South America, eastern Australia, and Dominica and Montserrat in the Caribbean.
