(Phys.org)—In the November issue of the journal Molecular Ecology, a U.S. and Brazilian research team reported evidence of novel and hybrid strains of a lethal fungus that has decimated amphibian populations worldwide. The paper, which was featured in the journal's News and Views article, reported on the genetic diversity of the fungus on introduced, native and cultivated North American bullfrogs that supply the global market for frog legs.
