Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans elicits acute stress response in spotted salamanders but not infection or mortality

Abstract: The emerging fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is a major threat to amphibian species worldwide with potential to infect many species if it invades salamander biodiversity hotspots in the Americas. Bsal can cause the disease chytridiomycosis, and it is important to assess the risk of Bsal-induced chytridiomycosis to species in North America. We evaluated the susceptibility to Bsal of the common and widespread spotted salamander, Ambystoma maculatum, across life-history stages and monitor… Show more

“…As we predicted, skin peptides from spotted salamanders ( Ambystoma maculatum ) inhibited the growth of Bsal , consistent with the observation that A. maculatum is Bsal resistant (Martel et al ., 2014; Barnhart et al ., 2019). Similar results were found for Bd .…”

“…Hence, the skin peptide repertoire reflects differences in skin microbiota which, in turn, are influenced by factors like captivity or geographic location of individuals that were sampled in the field (Kueneman et al ., 2014; Loudon et al ., 2014; Krynak et al ., 2016). Despite this limitation, assessing in vitro responses has been a useful tool in previous studies of the anuran‐ Bd system, and we feel that our results provide important insight towards better understanding the disease‐dynamics of chytrid pathogens, particularly Bsal (Woodhams et al ., 2006a; Woodhams et al ., 2006b; Grogan et al ., 2018; Barnhart et al ., 2019).…”

“…However, co-infections with Bd and Bsal are possible and may contribute to increasing mortality [ 19 , 20 ]. This review concentrates primarily on Bd, as much more is known about its immunology and pathology (although, see [ 6 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]).…”
