Mitigating Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Europe: supplementary material

摘要
The
infectious chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium
salamandrivorans (Bsal) has been responsible for severe population declines of
salamander populations in Europe. Serious population declines and loss of
urodelan diversity may occur if appropriate action is not taken to mitigate
against the further spread and impact of Bsal.
We provide an overview of several potential mitigation methods, and describe
their possible advantages and limitations. We conclude that long-term,
context-dependent, multi-faceted approaches are needed to successfully mitigate
adverse effects of Bsal, and that
these approaches should be initiated pre-arrival of the pathogen. The
establishment of ex situ assurance
colonies, or management units, for species threatened with extinction, should
be considered as soon as possible. While ex
situ conservation and preventive measures aimed at improving biosecurity by
limiting amphibian trade may be implemented quickly, major challenges that lie
ahead are in designing in situ
disease containment and mitigation post-arrival and in increasing public
awareness.
