30. Emerging Infectious Diseases and Amphibian Population Declines
- www.cdc.gov
- Perspectives Emerging Infectious Diseases and Amphibian Population Declines .
- We examine the role of these diseases in the global decline of amphibian populations and propose hypotheses for the origins and impact of these panzootics. ...
- Amphibian Population Declines .
- Global declines in amphibian population are perhaps one of the most pressing and enigmatic environmental problems of the late 20th century (12-19). ... Transdermal water uptake and gaseous exchange and a biphasic life cycle are important aspects of amphibian biology. ...
- Here, long-term data demonstrate recent and catastrophic amphibian population declines, often resulting in the complete loss of amphibian species (local extinction of multiple species) from large swaths of habitat (20-25). These declines include the disappearance and presumed extinction of the recently discovered golden toad (Bufo periglenes) of Costa Rica (23) and as many as seven Australian amphibian species, including two species of gastric-brooding frog (Rheobatrachus spp. ... These data, along with recent findings of amphibian mass deaths in these areas, suggest that such local extinctions are not normal population fluctuations or metapopulation dynamics. ...
- Investigations in Australia, the United Kingdom, and North and Central America (26-31) have repeatedly found two diseases as the causes of amphibian mass deaths globally (Table 1): chytridiomycosis in the rain forests of Australia and Central and South America and some parts of North America (28-32) and iridoviral infections in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada (26,27,33-36). ... The parasitic infection recently implicated as the cause of amphibian deformities in North America has not been associated with mass deaths or population declines (31). ...
- cThis recent outbreak was more than 2,000 km from the closest recorded chytridiomycosis-linked amphibian die-offs (31). ...
- Here, long-term ecologic study sites reported catastrophic amphibian population declines in Big Tableland, Queensland (39,40), and Fortuna and Cerro Pando, Panama (24,25,28). ... Parasitic chytrids mainly infect plants, algae, protists, and invertebrates (41); the amphibian pathogen is the only example of a chytrid parasitizing vertebrates (28). ...
- Clinical signs of amphibian chytridiomycosis include abnormal posture, lethargy, and loss of righting reflex. ...
- Its occurrence solely in keratinized tissue suggests that the chytrid uses amphibian keratin as a nutrient. ...
- The relatively synchronous discovery of chytridiomycosis in Australia and Central America in association with amphibian population declines is striking. The data suggest that Batrachochytrium 1) may be endemic to these regions and the amphibian deaths and declines attributed to it have only recently been discovered; 2) may be endemic and has recently become pathogenic (e. ...
