This project investigates a newly identified protist that infects amphibian tadpoles, aiming to understand its lifecycle and pathogenic mechanisms. It combines molecular techniques and microscopy to assess the prevalence of this pathogen and its impact on frog populations.
The causes of global decline of amphibian population is still unclear, however it is apparent that this animal group is susceptible to opportunistic infections.
Two important infectious agents have been identified: a fungus and a virus, both of which are responsible for mass mortalities.
