Infectivity of amphibian chytrid fungi requires metalloprotease-driven spore development and germ tube formation

Abstract Background Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungi Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and B. salamandrivorans (Bsal), drives global amphibian declines. Infection of a susceptible host begins when zoospores attach to the skin and extend germ tubes to penetrate the epithelial tissue. Proteases...
