Assessing the extinction risks of amphibians impacted by infectious diseases Ghent University
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are a major threat to amphibians worldwide. Determining the extinction risk of species susceptible to EIDs is challenging because of data limitations, especially in the initial stages of emergence and spread of disease. The fast rate of spread of many EIDs makes it necessary to assess the extinction risk of impacted host species before detailed mechanistic (epidemiological) or correlative (ecological niche) ...
