Are amphibians at risk?

[caption id="attachment_2972" align="alignright" width="797"] A chytrid-infected frog (see en:Chytridiomycosis)[/caption]             A broad range of amphibians are being infected via their skin by a deadly fungus. Research shows that it causes electrolyte depletion and eventually cardiac arrest. The fungus is said to have already wiped out numerous amphibians. Can a species that dates back to before the dinosaurs survive global trade? Biosecurity is an essential measure if we are to resolve problems like this in the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chytridiomycosis
