Frequency-dependent Transmission of Bsal in Eastern Newts
Matt Gray, Deb Miller Work to Prevent Amphibian Pathogen Spread
Professors Matt Gray and Deb Miller’s work in the Amphibian Disease Lab centers on preventing the spread of an amphibian pathogen, Bsal, to the United States. Bsal is currently spreading across Europe, and many fear that international pet trade will bring pathogen here. With the Appalachian region being a hotspot for salamander diversity, the Miller-Gray Lab is focused on prevention, detection, and transmission pathways for the pathogen.
New Information on Transmission of Bsal
New research finds that host density and habitat structure influence host contact rates and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans transmission
