The amphibian immune system

Vania Lopez Ruiz et al.

Summary: Amphibians play a crucial role in bridging the evolutionary gap between mammals and ancient vertebrates. Understanding their immune system, which is similar to that of mammals, is important for disease research. The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is a good model for studying the immune system, particularly during early development stages. This review summarizes the knowledge about the innate and adaptive immune system of X. laevis and compares it with other amphibians. It also discusses the response of amphibians to viral, bacterial, and fungal infections.

Coinfection with chytrid genotypes drives divergent infection dynamics reflecting regional distribution patterns

Tamilie Carvalho et al.

Summary: Globalization may inadvertently select for more virulent pathogens by altering the abundance, diversity, and distribution of species and their pathogens. Coinfections involving different genotypes can result in more severe infections or higher virulence.

Endemic Lineages of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Are Associated With Reduced Chytridiomycosis-Induced Mortality in Amphibians: Evidence From a Meta-Analysis of Experimental Infection Studies

Anat M. Belasen et al.

Summary: The study found that long-term historical coexistence may lead to less disease-induced mortality, potentially due to hypovirulence in endemic Bd lineages, while more recent coexistence between amphibians and Bd-GPL has not yet resulted in reduced host susceptibility or pathogen virulence.

?Heat waves? experienced during larval life have species-specific consequences on life-history traits and sexual development in anuran amphibians

Janos Ujszegi et al.

Summary: Heat waves can have devastating effects on amphibians, including increased mortality, delayed metamorphosis, decreased body mass, and sex reversal. The severity of these consequences can vary depending on the species and the timing and intensity of heat exposure. However, thermal treatments have no adverse effects on the body mass of juvenile amphibians.

Do immune system changes at metamorphosis predict vulnerability to chytridiomycosis? An update

Josephine E. Humphries et al.

Summary: Amphibians, especially during the metamorphic period, are vulnerable to diseases such as chytridiomycosis. However, there is a lack of research specifically focusing on the immune response during this period and its implications for chytridiomycosis. Future studies should consider studying other components of the immune system and exploring the underlying mechanisms of increased susceptibility. Additionally, management strategies should prioritize the peri-metamorphic period for species overlapping with endemic Bd/Bsal.

Ratio-dependent functional response of two common Cladocera present in farmland ponds to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Niels De Troyer et al.

Summary: Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is responsible for amphibian declines worldwide, and decreasing its aquatic density through consumption by water fleas may help mitigate its impact. The study investigated the zoospore ingestion rate of two common Cladocera species, Simocephalus vetulus and Chydorus sphaericus, and found that mutual interference among water fleas occurred during zoospore feeding, with S. vetulus consuming more zoospores than C. sphaericus. The findings are useful for model-based management of chytridiomycosis.

Co-infecting pathogen lineages have additive effects on host bacterial communities

Daniel Medina et al.

Summary: The study found that two strains of Bd have different impacts on amphibian skin bacteria, and mixed infections have an additive effect on bacterial diversity. Changes in experimental conditions resulted in a significant reduction in bacterial diversity and alteration in community structure.

Virulence and Pathogenicity of Chytrid Fungi Causing Amphibian Extinctions

Matthew C. Fisher et al.

Summary: Ancient associations between wildlife and their infections allow evolution to innovate pathogenicity mechanisms that are counterbalanced by host responses. However, globalization has eroded barriers to pathogen dispersal, leading to the emergence of highly virulent infections. Amphibian declines driven by chytrid fungi highlight the need to understand adaptations and counteradaptations of these infections.

Batrachochytrium fungi: stealth invaders in amphibian skin

Louise A. Rollins-Smith et al.

Summary: Two pathogenic fungi within the phylum Chytridiomycota have affected amphibian populations worldwide, leading to declines and extinctions. Comparative genomic studies show that Bd is more diverse and widespread than previously thought, while Bsal has devastated European salamanders. Concerns have been raised about greater pathogenesis if both Bd and Bsal infect the same host, with the potential for compromised immune responses in co-infected hosts.
