Experimental Evidence of Rapidly Decaying Environmental DNA Highlights Infection Risk from Two Major Amphibian Pathogens

ABSTRACT Infectious diseases spread through international wildlife trade networks, presenting major conservation and welfare challenges. The diseases amphibian chytridiomycosis (caused predominantly by chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd) and ranavirosis (caused by iridoviruses in the...
