Chytrid infection and physiology

  • AWeb News

From the AmphibiaWeb site:

Behavioral thermoregulation may be an important mechanism for amphibians to resist amphibian chytrid fungus infection. Richards-Zawacki (Proc. Royal Society B. 2010, 277[1681]:519-528) showed that wild Panamanian golden frogs (Atelopus zeteki) had elevated body temperatures during a chytridiomycosis epidemic, regardless of air temperature, and that this affected chytrid fungal infection prevalence.
