"For the past 40 years, a devastating fungal disease has been ravaging frog
populations around the world, wiping out 90 species. Unlike the global COVID-19
pandemic, you may not even be aware of this “panzootic” – a pandemic in the
animal world. Yet it’s the world’s worst wildlife disease.
Recently published in the journal
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, a
multinational study has now developed a method to detect all known strains of
this disease, caused by the amphibian chytrid fungus. This breakthrough will
advance our ability to detect and research this disease, working towards a
widely available cure."
