    I'd be interested in hearing anything about Green Frogs and chytrid resistance that you've seen.
    Oh, my bad! Sometimes this keyboard slips up on me, or I don't doublecheck. Yes, non-powdered gloves.

    I'm not sure, but considering how high the Green frog and Bullfrog population seems to be in Vancouver and where I live, and that Chytrid is apparently present in Vancouver, as well as how similar Green frogs are to bullfrogs, it may be possible that they, too, are resistant.

    I'll try and do some fieldwork for you if I can, see if I can find a Chytrid-infected area and search for Green frogs, not just bullfrogs. I already have seen the effects of what the introduction of bullfrogs has done to the Red Legged frog population, but I'm curious to know if any at my local lake are infected. If they are, then the huge population of salamanders, Chorus frogs, and Red legged frogs not a Km away may be in serious danger, which I'd immediately report to the BC Frogwatch.
    My Amphibians:
    1.0.0 Rana Catesbiana (Bumpy Digtoad )
    1.0.0 Pseudacris Regilla (Levi )
    1.1.0 Ambystoma Macrodactylum (Urtham and Gargan )
    2.2.0 Bombina Orientalis ( Rosa, Sasha, Aleksis, and Dimitri )

    Rest in Peace, Gnag the Nameless, Chrome, and Thermidor
