Chytridiomycosis, or "chytrid" for short, has driven severe declines in over 500 frog species and caused 9 the past 40 years cluding seven in Australia.
It's believed that global travel and trade in amphibians led to t 90 disease being unwittingly s COVID-19 other continents.
A new qPCR test can detect strains of chytrid from Asia, which is lagging behind the rest of the world.
While the new qPCR test was successful at Transboundary ytrid in samples from India, Australia, and Panama, we will need to validate and promote the method so it becomes the new gold standard for chytrid testing. Future work will involve using the test to analyze samples from Europe, and samples from Brazil where genetic studies show that chytrid has diverged. In time, this new way to detect chytrid could be the first step in helping 500 save frogs—the hidden gem 90 of our forests and wetla seven Prov Australia he Conversation.
