I do not know everything. I'm not a Herpetologist. Just someone who is passionate about frogs. There are other members who know more than I, but I appreciate your confidence in my knowledge.

There is a disease called Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

that is killing out lots of frogs globally. Can anyone give me some helpful information on it and/or the frog? Thanks!

The disease you mentions is referred to as Chytrid. Its a fungus that is wiping out several species of amphibians all over the world. If you Google Chytrid or even the full name of the fungus that you've posted above you will find tons of information on Chytrid fungus

No problem This actually happens a lot. I'm on my phone pretty much every time I'm on and the auto-correct can be soooooo BAD!!! I'm sure this will not be the last post you find a spelling error or wrong word in something of mine.

The name comes from a character who spells "Grif" with one F. Only One.

So Hase, did you find what you're looking for?

There are several good articles out there. Discovery and national geographic have some on the net. Try amphibianark.com too. There are many scientists studying the effects of chytrid on herps and their effects on frog species, plus the effects caused by loss of frogs in the food chain and ecosystems. Read some articles about panama. I have found some good ones. Try googling endangered frogs and causes. You'll find a bunch. No doubt you'll find lots to write about. If you have trouble finding articles let me know and I'll link you some. I did lots of research last year on losing frog species and causes of their decline in numbers to teach the kids at my daughters school how to help save frogs and how to encourage their repopulation.

Have fun! It's a great topic you've chosen. Hopefully you'll be educating others in doing this project .
