Low-level pathogen infection and geographic location correlate with the skin microbiomes of Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) in a montane landscape

Low-level pathogen infection and geographic location correlate with the skin microbiomes of Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) in a montane landscape

The skin microbiome of amphibians can influence host susceptibility towards the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), while simultaneously having the potential to be altered by Bd. Severe Bd infections are known to alter the amphibian skin microbiome; however, little is known about mi...
