eDNA-based monitoring of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans with ddPCR in Luxembourg ponds: taking signals below the Limit of Detection (LOD) into account
Abstract Background Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ( Bsal ) are two pathogenic fungi that are a significant threat to amphibian communities worldwide. European populations are strongly impacted and the monitoring of the presence and spread of these pathogens is crucial for efficient decision-making in conservation management. Results Here we proposed an environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of these two pathogenic agents through droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) based on water samples from 24 ponds in Luxembourg. In addition, amphibians were swabbed in eigh... Mehr ...
