Novel skin defense peptides and microbiota contribute to disease resilience of the Ngäbe-Buglé leopard frog

Novel skin defense peptides and microbiota contribute to disease resilience of the Ngäbe-Buglé leopard frog

Some of the amphibian populations in Panama are demonstrating slow recovery decades after severe declines caused by the invasion of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). However, new species remain to be described and assessed for the mechanisms of disease resilience. We identifie...
