Several studies have been indicating an alarming decline of amphibian populations worldwide. The chytridiomycosis, an emergent infection caused by the fungus chitridio Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) that infects anuran skin, have been considered one of the main factors underlying this decline over recent decades. Predominantly aquatic, Bd spreads rapidly in the environment, having th…
The decline of anurans populations worlwide indicates that their environment has been impacted by pollutants as xenoestrogens. This pollutant reaches water bodies mainly by domestic effluent and runoff of the syntetic estrogen, the 17-alpha-ethynilestradiol (EE2). EE2 is widely employed as a hormone therapy after menopause and to prevent pregnancy. The syntetic strogen is more persistent …
