dc.description.abstract | Amphibian populations have been declining throughout the world in the last several decades. Although
numerous factors, including habitat destruction, pollution, introduced species, and global environmental changes
contribute the most to amphibian population decline, yet many amphibians are dying of infectious diseases.
Recent studies of amphibian skin infections were mainly focused on the presence of chytridiomycosis
neglecting other members of the frogs’ skin communities. Samples for mycological and algological analyses
were collected from 100 individuals belonging to Pelophylax esculenta complex on three localities in South
Banat, Serbia using non-aggressive, rapid and inexpensive “adhesive tape” method for microbial biofilm
observation.
In analysed samples variety of fungal reproductive structures, and in few samples spore germination,
and mycelia formation were detected. Sporulation of some typical soil-borne fungi and the causative agent of
amphibian chromomycosis as well as human phaeohyphomycosis, Fonseceae sp. was detected along with water
mold, Aphanomyces sp. the pathogen responsible for amphibian egg mortality and saprolegniasis of mostly
salamanders and tadpoles. For both pathogens, these were the first reports for green frogs in Serbia. Microscopy
analysis showed the presence of aeroaquatic hyphomycetes (eg. Canalisporium sp.). Besides mycobiota, the
frog's skin has proved to be a good medium for the survival of diatoms (detected in high diversity and
abundance), Cyanobacteria and Chlorophyta.
Adhesive tape method proved itself useful as a consequential diagnostic tool for preliminary
observation of the microbial community on the skin of amphibians including potential pathogens and symbionts.
It provides minimal stress to the studied animal and can be easily applicable in various conditions of field
research. | sr |
