Schmidt, Benedikt R.; Geiger, Corina C.; Origgi, Francesco C. (2013). Accumulation of the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on the regressing tail of midwife toads Alytes obstetricans undergoing metamorphosis. Amphibia reptilia, 34(2), pp. 255-258. Brill 10.1163/15685381-00002887
Full text not available from this repository.Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a fungus infecting the skin of amphibians. On metamorphosing animals the infection is difficult to detect because of the limited information concerning the location of Bd on the animals during this stage. Histological investigation revealed that Bd accumulated on the reabsorbing tail of metamorphosing animals. This observation may facilitate the detection of Bd in metamorphosing amphibians.
