引起壶菌病的真菌病原体Batrachochytrium dendrobaerum(Bd)与世界各地两栖动物的灾难性下降有关。两栖动物对壶菌病的易感性不同;一些物种经历动物流行病,然后崩溃,而另一些物种表现出稳定的宿主/病原体动态,其中大多数两栖动物宿主在存在Bd的情况下存活(例如,在动物流行状态下)。关于在一个社区内驱动两种疾病状态之间转变的因素,或者在最初的动物流行病中幸存下来的物种种群是否稳定,我们知之甚少,但这些信息对于保护和理论至关重要。我们的研究集中在一个不同的秘鲁两栖动物社区,经历了BD引起的崩溃。我们探索主机/Bd动态的八个幸存的物种大灭绝后十年,使用人口水平的疾病指标和BD敏感性试验。我们发现,八个物种中的三个仍然容易受到Bd的影响,并且它们的种群数量正在下降。只有一个物种的数量在增长,它在我们的试验中是不敏感的。我们的研究表明,一些物种仍然容易受到Bd和表现出持续的人口下降的地方病系统,其中Bd主机动态被认为是稳定的。
The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which causes the disease chytridiomycosis, has been linked to catastrophic amphibian declines throughout the world. Amphibians differ in their vulnerability to chytridiomycosis; some species experience epizootics followed by collapse while others exhibit stable host/pathogen dynamics where most amphibian hosts survive in the presence of Bd (e.g., in the enzootic state). Little is known about the factors that drive the transition between the two disease states within a community, or whether populations of species that survived the initial epizootic are stable, yet this information is essential for conservation and theory. Our study focuses on a diverse Peruvian amphibian community that experienced a Bd-caused collapse. We explore host/Bd dynamics of eight surviving species a decade after the mass extinction by using population level disease metrics and Bd-susceptibility trials. We found that three of the eight species continue to be susceptible to Bd, and that their populations are declining. Only one species is growing in numbers and it was non-susceptible in our trials. Our study suggests that some species remain vulnerable to Bd and exhibit ongoing population declines in enzootic systems where Bd-host dynamics are assumed to be stable.
