Hello! And Chytrid Info Help?

[Herpiness]

I'm an undergrad studying reptiles and amphibians and am currently working on a research paper in regards to the Chytrid fungus. I am particularly interested in the immunity that the American Bullfrogs and other amphibians show in response to this fungus. Does anyone have any advice for me on how I could best pursue this?
Thank you for your time!

I am also interested in the spread of chytrid. My major interest is in African species, especially Xenopus sp. and whether or not the "out of Africa" hypothesis is valid. Here are a couple of sites that might be of interest:

Funny you should say that, I wrote a 45 page review on the subject.

That sounds really interesting! Is there any chance you have some relevant citations from your paper that pertain to what I mentioned earlier? I have found quite a bit of information about Chytrid, but there does not seem to be a lot in regards to the immunity that some species show.

Absolutely, let me skim through my paper and I'll post the names of the researchers and their article.

Thank you Socrates, that would be absolutely wonderful!
