Variation in Thermal Performance of a Widespread Pathogen, the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Figure 7
Patterns of growth of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) (measured as optical density) over time (days) at constant temperatures ranging from 26–28°C for 14 days, and maintained at 23°C thereafter, shown for isolates from (a) Queensland (QLD), (b) New South Wales (NSW), and (c) Tasmania (TAS), Australia.
Shown are mean optical densities of Bd grown at an initial concentration of 0.575x106 zoospores per ml.
