Environmental DNA‐derived pathogen gene sequences can expand surveillance when pathogen titers are decoupled in eDNA and hosts

Environmental DNA‐derived pathogen gene sequences can expand surveillance when pathogen titers are decoupled in eDNA and hosts

Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) collection has emerged as a powerful and noninvasive wildlife population and pathogen‐monitoring tool. Ranavirus is an emerging pathogen linked to die‐offs in amphibian species. Applications of eDNA detection for ranavirus surveillance have shown promise, but it is...
