Restoring amphibian populations in chytrid-impacted landscapes - Ext led

This project aims to address an outstanding problem in wildlife disease ecology: how can we enable susceptibleamphibians to persist in the face of the chytrid pathogen, which has devastated amphibian biodiversity? Thisproject expects to generate new knowledge by experimentally trialling two highly promising interventions:immunising animals and creating disease refugia through simple habitat manipulations. Outcomes of this projectinclude a framework for predicting how interventions might enable host-pathogen coexistence. This project shouldprovide significant benefits including enhanced understanding of wildlife disease dynamics that will pave the wayfor interventions to restore amphibian biodiversity in chytrid-impacted landscapes.
