Pathogenesis of Chytridiomycosis, a Cause of Catastrophic Amphibian Declines

Croaking Frogs
The global amphibian decline has been attributed, among other causes, to an amphibian skin disease chytridiomycosis caused by the fungus
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
. However, how this pathogen causes mortality has been unclear.

) show that this superficial skin infection may lead to cardiac failure owing to changes caused by lowered ion transport through the skin and consequent electrolyte reduction in the blood.
