Sažetak
Amphibians currently belong to a group of most endangered animal species in the world. In addition to the loss of habitats, climate changes and pollution, contagious diseases are also one of significant causes of amphibian extinction. Since the role of humans in disease spreading and transfer from one area to another is significant, it is very important to learn more about emerging diseases in amphibians, how to diagnose those diseases and how to prevent their spread. In this lecture current knowledge regarding the following fungal and viral causes of emerging amphibian diseases will be presented, specifically about the: (i) chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (BD), a well known cause of mass amphibian mortality worldwide ; (ii) another recently described chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (BS) which is, to our current knowledge, the cause of disease and mortality in Caudata (Urodela) only ; and (iii) Ranavirus which can cause disease in amphibians, reptiles and fishes. The results of preliminary investigation of BD, BS and Ranavirus infections in the olms (Proteus anguinus), and of other amphibians from Croatia will also be presented. The aim of this lecture is to provide the herpetologists with more information about infectious and deleterious amphibian diseases, to help them in their everyday activities, particularly in the field, to recognize disease, collect adequate samples and prevent disease spread from one site to another.
