全球两栖动物种群受到人为变化和水蛭壶菌（Batrachochytrium dendroatidis, Bd）的威胁，壶菌病是一种引起不同严重程度的真菌病原体。一种密切相关的新型真菌病原体，蝾螈壶菌（Bsal），最近离开了它在亚洲的假定本土范围，并使欧洲的一些蝾螈种群大量灭绝。尽管最初被注意到引起壶菌病相关的蝾螈种群下降，但Bsal也可以感染无尾螈并引起非致命性壶菌病或蝾螈无症状感染。Bsal尚未在美国被发现，但鉴于美国蝾螈的生物多样性在地球上是最高的，对蝾螈感染Bsal的风险进行预测评估，将使研究和保护工作能够主动分配到疾病预防和减轻方面。
Amphibian populations are threatened globally by anthropogenic change and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a fungal pathogen causing chytridiomycosis disease to varying degrees of severity. A closely related new fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), has recently left its supposed native range in Asia and decimated some salamander populations in Europe. Despite being noticed initially for causing chytridiomycosis‐related population declines in salamanders, Bsal can also infect anurans and cause non‐lethal chytridiomycosis or asymptomatic infections in salamanders. Bsal has not yet been detected in the United States, but given the United States has the highest salamander biodiversity on Earth, predictive assessments of salamander risk to Bsal infection will enable proactive allocation of research and conservation efforts into disease prevention and mitigation.
