Chytridiomycosis Test Package at Affordable Price

Chytridiomycosis, also known as chytrid fungus infection, is a fungal disease caused by the chytrid fungus, specifically the species.

Chytridiomycosis is a devastating disease for amphibians, as it attacks the skin, which is an important organ for their respiration, water regulation, and immune defense. The fungus infects the keratinized skin cells of amphibians, disrupting their normal function and leading to skin thickening, ulceration, and sloughing. This can result in significant physiological stress, dehydration, and even death in affected amphibians.

The common signs are:

• Skin discoloration, such as reddening or darkening
• Abnormal behavior
• Loss of appetite
• Skin changes
• Reduced mobility
• Difficulty in moving
• Respiratory distress, such as increased breathing or gasping
• Abnormal posture, such as arching of the back or limb weakness

Chytridiomycosis Test Package Includes:

Diagnosis of chytridiomycosis is typically done through laboratory testing, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or histological examination of infected skin samples, to detect the presence of the chytrid fungus.
