BdGPL, it's not all bad... There are marked differences in BdGPL virulence, with a variety of low virulent isolates endemic in Western Europe, which are potentially protective against virulent BdGPL and Bsal.

Several papers have been published lately! for a more comprehensive overview check the website https://t.co/JEjYFoPjn2 #chytrid#Bsal#salamanders#mitigation
Upcoming summer (31st of August 2020, Cuenca, Spanje), the first global symposium and workshops on Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) will be held! Information regarding the topics and the registration can be found on the flyer attached. #Bsal#chytrid
For an updated distribution of Bsal in Europe, including the latest outbreak in a fire salamander population in Belgium (only recently confirmed in January 2020): https://t.co/fTYVdigAk3 #Bsal#chytrid#salamanders#newts
Martel(2020) report how invasion by a released newt coincides with Bsal invasion in Spain. Disease management
showed the importance of tackling wildlife diseases at an early stage using an integrated approach: https://t.co/RvLuVCLWYw #Bsal#chytrid#mitigation#salamanders#newts
What can you do to prevent the further spread and introduction of Bsal into nature???
Please watch the two new educational videos that have been released on the Bsal Europe website: https://t.co/XBwT85sNwI #Bsal#chytrid#salamanders#mitigation
A new article is out from Verbrugghe et al. providing guidance for selecting appropriate reference genes when analyzing expression patterns of Bd and Bsal.

New article: Verbrugghe at al.: describing an in vitro infection model that facilitates in depth study of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis-host interactions, reducing the number of experimental animals needed.

Another publication providing an update of the Bsal distribution in Germany: Read these and more on the comprehensive publication list on @BsalEurope :
Four new educational videos were posted @Bsaleurope.com to give an overview of the 'etiology and epidemiology' of Bsal, the 'clinical signs, pathogenesis and pathology', the 'diagnostic methods' and possible 'treatment options'. #Bsal#chytrid
An overview of several potential mitigation methods (their advantages and limitations) is recently published #Bsal#mitigation#chytrid https://t.co/zEe9qVPkLo
The @IPBES#GlobalAssessment Report identifies changes in land and sea use as the most significant direct driver of changes in nature.
To halt and reverse #biodiversity loss and the degradation of nature, we need more sustainable #agricultural practices and food systems.
Chytrid is an #invasive species. The #chytrid outbreak represents the greatest recorded loss of biodiversity attributable to a disease, ever. It is a serious threat to all of us #Seychelles#amphibians. https://t.co/k62Vp7QZLs
Only two months into 2019 and already three publications on #Bsal. Read these and more on the comprehensive publication list on @BsalEurope :

A beautiful and informative short film about Bsal and the risk of its introduction in yet naive regions. Made by our American colleagues from @salamanderfungi Fungus. #Bsal#chytrid
