We used molecular techniques to examine 11 species of frogs in 6 localities in southern Chile to ascertain the incidence of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). We detected the fungus in 2 localities (Coñaripe and Raúl Marín Balmaceda) in 3 species: Batrachyla leptopus, Pleurodema thaul and Rhinoderma darwinii. Our findings expand the list of Bd hosts to include B. leptopus and P. thaul and extend the spatial distribution in Chile to include the southernmost Bd record at Raúl Marín Balmaceda.
我们运用分子技术对智利南部6个地区的11种蛙类进行了检测,以确定蛙壶菌(Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis,简称Bd)的感染率。我们在2个地区(科尼亚里佩和劳尔·马林·巴尔马塞达)的3个物种中检测到了这种真菌,这3个物种分别是细短肢蟾(Batrachyla leptopus)、南方侧褶蛙(Pleurodema thaul)和达尔文蛙(Rhinoderma darwinii)。我们的研究结果扩大了感染蛙壶菌的宿主名单,将细短肢蟾和南方侧褶蛙纳入其中,并将智利境内蛙壶菌的空间分布范围扩展至劳尔·马林·巴尔马塞达,这是该真菌在智利最南端的记录。
