Like many amphibians worldwide, the species has been devastated in recent decades by the fungal skin disease chytridiomycosis. dendrobatidis has only recently and rapidly expanded its range into Europe (3), and the consequences are only now being detected in wild amphibian populations; because the expression of chytridiomycosis is environmentally limited (11); or because European amphibians exhibit highly variable levels of resistance to chytrid infection.
