Frogs of the Times

Good New on the Fungus Front

According to the article:  "After a six-year effort, researchers on the Spanish island of Majorca have rid several groups of Maorcan midwife toads of the pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis--better known as chytrid fungus, or B.d.  It's the first time the disease, which is devastating amphibians worldwide, has been eradicated in a wild population."
