is bd a kind of fungus
Bd is a very important chytrid fungus because it appears to be capable of infecting most of the worldâs approximately 6,000 amphibian species and many of those species develop the disease chytridiomycosis which is linked to devastating population declines and species extinctions (Berger et al., 1998; Skerratt et al., 2007; Fisher et al., 2009).
