Abstract

Lambert question our retrospective and holistic epidemiological assessment of the role of chytridiomycosis in amphibian declines. Their alternative assessment is narrow and provides an incomplete evaluation of evidence. Adopting this approach limits understanding of infectious disease impacts and hampers conservation efforts. We reaffirm that our study provides unambiguous evidence that chytridiomycosis has affected at least 501 amphibian species.

摘要

兰伯特质疑我们对壶菌病在两栖动物减少中所起作用的回顾性和整体流行病学评估。他们的替代评估是狭隘的，对证据的评估不完整。采用这种方法限制了对传染病影响的理解，并阻碍了保护工作。我们重申，我们的研究提供了明确的证据，表明壶菌病至少影响了 501 种两栖动物。
