Occurrence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in amphibian populations in Denmark

Abstract/Summary

In summer 2007, we hand captured individual amphibians in Denmark and sampled them for B. dendrobatidis. We found B. dendrobatidis on individuals from both species sampled and at 2 of the 4 study areas we examined. One of the positive results was for an adult of Rana kl. esculenta captured in Vestamager. The other positive result was for a juvenile of Rana temporaria captured in Egense.
