Funded Activity Summary
Mechanisms of virulence of amphibian chytridiomycosis and factors influencing their evolution. Chytridiomycosis is a fatal fungal disease causing amphibian population declines as it spreads globally. By analysing the genes, proteins and metabolites of the fungus, we will determine how infection leads to death. This will enable surveys for virulent fungal strains and potential enhancement of host resistance.Funded Activity Details
