First record of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infecting threatened populations of Tandilean Red-belly toad (Melanophryniscus aff. montevidensis) in Argentina
We present the first record of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infecting endangered populations of the Tandilean Red-belly toad (Melanophryniscus aff. montevidensis). We obtained skin swab samples of 32 individuals. The prevalence was 35.5% and the infection levels varied between 0.34 and 915 Bd...
