It provides excellent general and as well as some detailed information on chytrid.
Hi Lynn! Thanks for link; had not seen this one. It's a good article having some discussion of Chytrid symptoms in fieldwork. Also, it offers info to help prevent spreading the disease.
After reading this article I was surprised to see how easily nature lovers like most of us are, can accidentally help spread a plague like Chytrid. Got a few other articles on this disease and will try to cross reference symptoms later
.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!

This whole website is very informative. It'll help me with my own frogs, and monitoring the bullfrog/green frog population at my nearby lake, as well as the Red legged frogs I see nearby for chytrid. Think I'm gonna bookmark this website.
I'll also be taking more careful steps each time I go to my lake, and to other bullfrog infested areas.
Thanks for sharing![]()
