Jun 1, 2020 · L. Rollins‐Smith. Published in Herpetologica 1 June 2020. Environmental Science, Biology, Medicine. TLDR. The fundamentals of amphibian immunity, amphibian immune defenses against the chytrid fungi, and the host–pathogen interactions that often favor the pathogen to the detriment of the host are reviewed.

Jun 12, 2023 · Louise A. Rollins-Smith. and. Emily H. Le Sage. Published: 12 June 2023 https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2022.0132. Abstract. As a class of vertebrates, amphibians, are at greater risk for declines or extinctions than any other vertebrate group, including birds and mammals.
Rollins-Smith LA. Amphibian immunity-stress, disease, and climate change. Dev. Comp. Immunol [print-electronic]. 2017 Jan; 66: 111-9. PMID: 27387153, PII: S0145-305X(16)30219-1, DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2016.07.002, ISSN: 1879-0089.
Aug 14, 2007 · In addition, antimicrobial peptides within naturally secreted mixtures can act together in synergy (Westerhoff et al., 1995; Rollins-Smith et al., 2002; Patrzykat & Douglas, 2005). In vitro experiments show that many isolated skin peptides and natural peptide mixtures have activity against B. dendrobatidis ( Rollins-Smith & Conlon ...

Jan 1, 2012 · Emerging infectious diseases driven by fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens are consistently associated with amphibian decline (Carey et al., 1999;Collins, 2010; Rollins-Smith & Woodhams,...
Jun 12, 2023 · Survival of amphibians depends on immune defences functioning well under these combined threats. Here, we review the current state of knowledge of how amphibians respond to some natural stressors, including heat and desiccation stress, and the limited studies of the immune defences under these stressful conditions.
Metamorphosis is a critical time of transition when increased concentrations of metamorphic hormones, principally thyroid hormones (TH) and corticosteroid hormones (CH), orchestrate the loss or reorganization of many tissues and organ systems, including the immune system.
