Abstract

The article discusses Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), an infectious chytrid fungal pathogen originating from Asia that is specific to salamanders. It looks at how a spread of Bsal to North America could lead to a wildlife epidemic and extinctions in salamander fauna. Details are provided on how international salamander trade increases the risk of Bsal invasion and the authors call for immediate response from the U.S. government to prevent a biodiversity crisis.

Abstract

Scheele et al (Reports, 29 March 2019, p. 1459) bring needed attention to the effects of amphibian infectious disease. However, the data and methods implicating the disease chytridiomycosis in 501 amphibian species declines are deficient. Which species are affected, and how many, remains a critical unanswered question. Amphibians are imperiled; protective actions require public support and robust science., (Copyright © 2020, American Association for the Advancement of Science.)
