“…Due to largescale domestic bullfrog breeding, reports on bullfrog diseases have been mainly concentrated in China [4,10], Overseas, only South Korea, France, North America and a few other countries have reported of the same. The main pathogens of bullfrog diseases include viruses, bacteria, and parasites [11][12][13][14][15][16]. The frequent occurrence of diseases in bullfrog has caused great economic losses, and diseases were becoming a major bottleneck for the development of the bullfrog industry.…”

Bullfrog is one of the most important economic aquatic animals in China that is widely cultured in southern China and is a key breed recommended as an industry of poverty alleviation in China. During recent years, a fatal bacterial disease has often been found in cultured bullfrogs.The clinical manifestations of the diseased bullfrogs were severe intestinal inflammation and an anal prolapse. A bacterial pathogen was isolated from the diseased bullfrog intestines. The bacterium was identified as Vibrio cholerae using morphological, biochemical and 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis. In this study, V. cholerae was isolated and identified in diseased bullfrogs for the first time, providing a basis for the diagnosis and control of the disease. Therefore, .

“…Thirteen years ago, Stuart et al (2008) edited their compendium "Threatened World of Amphibians" as a result of the Global Amphibian Assessment and synthesised knowledge on the science and threats detrimentally impacting amphibian species on a global scale. Threats such as habitat destruction (Cox et al 2006), pollution (Blaustein and Johnson 2003), domestic use and trade (Mohneke 2011;Turvey et al 2021), international trade (Andreone et al 2006;Carpenter et al 2014;Auliya et al 2016) and climate change (Blaustein et al 2010) have been well studied in many areas, but amphibians are also particularly vulnerable to pathogens, such as ranaviruses (Cunningham et al 1996;Daszak et al 1999;Miller et al 2011;Bayley et al 2013), mycotic diseases (Daszak et al 1999;Fitzpatrick et al 2018) and parasites (Kim et al 2016). Similarly, a recent study revealed that frogs act as intermediate hosts of the trematode Alaria alata and human consumption of frogs' legs containing larvae of the parasite can promote alariosis, a potentially deadly infection (Korpysa-Dzirba et al 2021).…”

Numerous uncertainties in the multifaceted global trade in frogs’ legs with the EU as the major consumer

The commercial trade in frogs and their body parts is global, dynamic and occurs in extremely large volumes (in the thousands of tonnes/yr or billions of frogs/yr). The European Union (EU) remains the single largest importer of frogs’ legs, with most frogs still caught from the wild. Amongst the many drivers of species extinction or population decline (e.g. due to habitat loss, climate change, disease etc.), overexploitation is becoming increasingly more prominent. Due to global declines and extinctions, new attention is being focused on these markets, in part to try to ensure sustainability. While the trade is plagued by daunting realities of data deficiency and uncertainty and the conflicts of commercial interests associated with these data, it is clear is that EU countries are most responsible for the largest portion of the international trade in frogs’ legs of wild species. Over decades of exploitation, the EU imports have contributed to a decline in wild frog populations in an increasing number of supplying countries, such as India and Bangladesh, as well as Indonesia, Turkey and Albania more recently. However, there have been no concerted attempts by the EU and present export countries to ensure sustainability of this trade. Further work is needed to validate species identities, secure data on wild frog populations, establish reasonable monitored harvest/export quotas and disease surveillance and ensure data integrity, quality and security standards for frog farms. Herein, we call upon those countries and their representative governments to assume responsibility for the sustainability of the trade. The EU should take immediate action to channel all imports through a single centralised database and list sensitive species in the Annexes of the EU Wildlife Trade Regulation. Further, listing in CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) can enforce international trade restrictions. More joint efforts are needed to improve regional monitoring schemes before the commercial trade causes irreversible extinctions of populations and species of frogs.
