Fail: growth of the pathogen batrachochytrium dendrobatidis from the “ecoimmunology: what unconventional organisms tell us after two decades” presented at the annual synopsis to combat the threat of emerging infectious diseases in wildlife ecoimmunologists seek to understand the complex interactions among pathogens their hosts and their shared environments

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

While amphibians have complex acquired (pathogen specific) and innate (nonspecific) immune_responses, Bd may evade or dampen acquired immune_responses (Rosenblum et_al 2009; Fites et_al 2013). The authors experimentally depleted the skin secretions from A. zeteki using dose-response treatments of NE and then measured the inhibitory effectiveness of these secretions against Bd in_vitro. The authors tested the inhibitory effectiveness of the secretions against Bd in_vitro and then exposed frogs that had their skin secretions experimentally reduced to Bd. The results did not support the hypothesis and instead suggest that captive-bred A. zeteki skin secretions . . .
