About this report
This report is the Executive Summary for research relating to the interaction of host and environmental factors in determining the probability of infection of native frogs with the amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. The report summarises research outcomes and the publications arising from the project.
Please note that this research is linked to the research project Experimental research to obtain a better understanding of the pathogenesis of chytridiomycosis, and the susceptibility and resistance of key amphibian species to chytridiomycosis. Both research tenders were undertaken concurrently by the Amphibian Disease Ecology Group at James Cook University.
