摘要: Abstract One of the leading causes global amphibian decline is emerging infectious disease. In this review, we summarize disease ecology four major agents: chytrids, ranaviruses, trematodes, and Perkinsea. We focus on recently developed quantitative advances that build well-established ecological theories aid in studying epizootic enzootic dynamics. For example, identify evolutionary selective forces determine outcomes transmission pathways by borrowing ideas from population community theory. outline three topics general interest ecology: (i) relationship between biodiversity risk, (ii) individual, species, or environmental heterogeneity, (iii) pathogen coinfections. Finally, specific knowledge gaps impeding success conservation-related decisions for mitigation future conservation success.
