- Body size influences energetic and osmoregulatory costs in frogs infected with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
Wu NC, Cramp RL, Franklin CE · Scientific reports · 2018-02 · open access
Sloughing maintains the skins integrity and critical functionality in amphibians. Given the behavioural, morphological and osmoregulatory changes that accompany sloughing, this process is likely to be physiologically costly. Chytridiomycosis, a cutaneous disease of amphibians caused by the fungus…

- Isolation of Brucella from a White’s tree frog (Litoria caerulea)
Adrian M. Whatmore, Emma‐Jane Dale, Emma J. Stubberfield et al. · JMM Case Reports · 2015-02 · open access
Introduction: Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that has a significant economic, social and public health impact in many parts of the world. The causative agents are members of the genus Brucella currently comprising 11 species and with an expanding known host range in recent years. Case…
- Effects of anthropogenic noise on endocrine and reproductive function in White's treefrog, Litoria caerulea.
Kaiser K, Devito J, Jones CG et al. · Conservation physiology · 2015-01 · open access
Urbanization is a major driver of ecological change and comes with a suite of habitat modifications, including alterations to the local temperature, precipitation, light and noise regimes. Although many recent studies have investigated the behavioural and ecological ramifications of urbanization,…

- Defects in host immune function in tree frogs with chronic chytridiomycosis.
Young S, Whitehorn P, Berger L et al. · PloS one · 2014-09 · open access
The amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has caused mass mortality leading to population declines and extinctions in many frog species worldwide. The lack of host resistance may be due to fungal immunosuppressive effects that have been observed when Bd is incubated with…
- Quantifying anuran microhabitat use to infer the potential for parasite transmission between invasive cane toads and two species of Australian native frogs.
Pizzatto L, Both C, Shine R · PloS one · 2014-09 · open access
Parasites that are carried by invasive species can infect native taxa, with devastating consequences. In Australia, invading cane toads (Rhinella marina) carry lungworm parasites (Rhabdias pseudosphaerocephala) that (based on previous laboratory studies) can infect native treefrogs (Litoria…
- Experimental evolution alters the rate and temporal pattern of population growth in Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, a lethal fungal pathogen of amphibians.
Voyles J, Johnson LR, Briggs CJ et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2014-09 · open access
Virulence of infectious pathogens can be unstable and evolve rapidly depending on the evolutionary dynamics of the organism. Experimental evolution can be used to characterize pathogen evolution, often with the underlying objective of understanding evolution of virulence. We used experimental…
- First line of defence: the role of sloughing in the regulation of cutaneous microbes in frogs.
Cramp RL, McPhee RK, Meyer EA et al. · Conservation physiology · 2014-04 · open access
Amphibian populations worldwide are currently experiencing unprecedented declines due to the combined effects of emerging infectious disease and climate change. The skin is the first line of defence in preventing establishment of pathogens and associated infections. Although amphibians undergo…

Hull Kaitlyn, Hodgson Dee, Noelle James et al. · African Journal of Microbiology Research · 2014-01 · open access
Restriction enzyme mediated integration (REMI) transgenesis and lentiviral transgenesis are effective methods of introducing transgenes into the genome of frogs. One aquatic amphibian species, Xenopus laevis, and one land dwelling species, Litoria caerulea, were chosen as subjects for transgenesis.…

Pinto F, Mielewczik M, Liebisch F et al. · PloS one · 2013-09 · open access
Background Most spectral data for the amphibian integument are limited to the visible spectrum of light and have been collected using point measurements with low spatial resolution. In the present study a dual camera setup consisting of two push broom hyperspectral imaging systems was employed,…
