Amphibian chytridiomycosis outbreak dynamics are linked with host skin bacterial community structure
Amphibian skin microbe communities have been putatively associated with the severity of chytrid fungal disease. Here, the authors show that different types of disease dynamics (enzootic versus epizootic) are associated with different microbiota in the host populations.
