The amphibian disease chytridiomycosis has caused declines and extinctions in Australian frogs; it is very sensitive to environmental conditions, and changes in climate or weather could cause outbreaks that would eliminate many more species. This project will build greater understanding as to how and when that could occur and prevent it from happening.

两栖动物壶菌病已导致澳大利亚青蛙数量减少甚至灭绝；它对环境条件非常敏感，气候或天气的变化可能会导致疾病爆发，从而消灭更多的物种。该项目将加深人们对这种情况如何以及何时发生的了解，并防止其发生。
