About the poster

Could amphibian chytrid fungus disease cause some of our native frogs to become extinct?

Amphibian chytrid fungus disease, or chytridiomycosis, is caused by a fungus that invades and damages the frog's skin. This highly infectious disease can kill whole populations and is a serious threat to Australia's native frog species.
