Genetic variability and ontogeny predict microbiome structure in a disease-challenged montane amphibian
Griffiths, Sarah M.; Weldon, Ché; Pretorius, Abigail; Antwis, Rachael E.; Harrison, Xavier A. (Nature, 2018)Amphibian populations worldwide are at risk of extinction from infectious diseases, including chytridiomycosis caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Amphibian cutaneous microbiomes interact ... -
Probiotic consortia are not uniformly effective against different amphibian chytrid pathogen isolates
Antwis, Rachael E.; Harrison, Xavier A. (Wiley, 2018)Symbiotic bacterial communities can protect their hosts from infection by pathogens. Treatment of wild individuals with protective bacteria (probiotics) isolated from hosts can combat the spread of emerging infectious ... -
Using “omics” and integrated multi-omics approaches to guide probiotic selection to mitigate chytridiomycosis and other emerging infectious diseases
Rebollar, Eria A.; Antwis, Rachael E.; Becker, Matthew H.; Belden, Lisa K.; Bletz, Molly C. (Frontiers Media, 2016)Emerging infectious diseases in wildlife are responsible for massive population declines. In amphibians, chytridiomycosis caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd, has severely affected many amphibian populations and ...
