Dynamics of habitat changes as a result of climate change in Zagros Mountains Range (Iran), a case study on Amphibians
Climate change is currently considered a serious threat for many species and recognized as one of the most important factors in the global biodiversity loss. Among animal groups, amphibians are known to be among the most sensitive groups of vertebrates to climate change due to their inability to travel long distances, and mountain habitat species are more exposed to climate change pressures tha...
متن کاملEmerging Pathogen in Wild Amphibians and Frogs (Rana catesbeiana) Farmed for International Trade
Chytridiomycosis is an emerging disease responsible for a series of global declines and extinctions of amphibians. We report the causative agent, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, in North American bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) farmed for the international restaurant trade. Our findings suggest that international trade may play a key role in the global dissemination of this and other emerging infe...
متن کاملInfectious and parasitic disease of captive reptiles and amphibians, with special emphasis on husbandry practices which prevent or promote diseases.
Reptiles and amphibians have been maintained in captivity for over one hundred years. The authors review the husbandry practices necessary for the optimal health of these species: for some species these are well known, while such information is lacking for other species. Infectious and parasitic diseases are presented in tabulated form, and a number of references are cited for those seeking mor...
متن کاملDiseases of amphibians.
The development and refinement of amphibian medicine comprise an ongoing science that reflects the unique life history of these animals and our growing knowledge of amphibian diseases. Amphibians are notoriously fastidious in terms of captive care requirements, and the majority of diseases of amphibians maintained in captivity will relate directly or indirectly to husbandry and management. Inve...
متن کاملHarnessing the Microbiome to Prevent Fungal Infections: Lessons from Amphibians
All multicellular organisms are host to microbial symbionts that constitute the microbiome and can have significant impacts on the host, including altering development, behavior, and health [1]. In turn, aspects of the host and their environment can influence the microbiome [2]. Here, we briefly summarize current knowledge of the amphibian skin microbiome and its role in heath and disease. Give...
