Juvenile Fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra)

One of the main questions that we want to anwer is why this co-infections seems to affect only Lissotriton species. We´ve found also Triturus marmoratus and Salamandra salamandra, but we´ve never found dead or sick individuals of both species.

About This Project

Emerging diseases have been increasingly associated with population declines, with co-infections exhibiting many types of interactions.
The aim of this study is to identify the dynamics of the pathogen co-infections (Dermocystid-Chytrid-Ranavirus) that are present in an amphibian community inhabiting a protected wetland from North-Western Spain and to evaluate its possible negative impact on endemic species due to mortality events
