Project: Risk Assessment of Chytridiomycosis to European amphibian biodiversity.
The RACE team had found that an emerging infectious pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), poses a widespread threat to amphibians in Europe. The disease chytridiomycosis, caused by Bd, was previously undiagnosed and yet had already caused population declines and extinction in amphibians worldwide. The RACE team aimed at: 1. Assessing the risk that this invasive infectious disease poses to European amphibians; and 2. Implementing the first pan-European attempt to mitigate it.
