Emerging Infectious Diseases and Amphibian Population Declines
Open accessAbstract
Perspectives Perspectives frog (Rheobatrachus spp.) (20).These data, along with recent findings of amphibian mass deaths in these areas, suggest that such local extinctions are not normal population fluctuations or metapopulation dynamics.Investigations in Australia, the United Kingdom, and North and Central America (26-31) have repeatedly found two diseases as the causes of amphibian mass deaths globally (Table 1): chytridiomycosis in the rain forests of Australia and Central and South America and some parts of North America (28-32) and iridoviral infections in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada (26,27,(33)(34)(35)(36).Both

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
