Presence of emerging pathogen Batrachochytridium dendrobatidis in wild amphibian species in the Czech Republic
Original language description
The fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is important emerging pathogen of wildlife. It has been devastating amphibian populations in global scale. However some countries have no evidence of disease-mediated declines and the research is limited. The Czech Republic harbours surprisingly rich amphibian diversity (21 species) and many species are present in relic or edge-of distribution populations. Limited populations are in general more vulnerable to pathogen outbreaks. Data on B. dendrobatidis in the Czech Republic are being collected since 2008. The prevalence is similar to surrounding countries but varies in hosts, time and geography. Intensity of infection is in general very low, with some exceptions. Mortality caused by the fungus was detected only once. Bombina variegata, Bufo calamita and Bufo viridis showed ability to clear infection. Genus Rana and Pelobates fuscus seem to be resistant to infection. Models on habitat suitability show lowlands to harbour more infections than mo
