Fungal parasite threatens the population of frogs around the world

A new study showed a deadly disease that threatens the survival of frogs in the world, originated from East Asia, and international trade was almost certainly responsible for the spread of the disease.
Frog fungus parasite chytrid fungus has caused the disappearance of many species of amphibians on several continents, dating back to the 1970s.
The parasitic fungus, eating frogs almost alive from within, quickly spread around the world and leads to the steady extinction of frogs. Scientists for a long time could not understand where and how these strains of fungal killers appeared. Finally, an international team of researchers led by scientists from the Imperial College of London, including four scientists from the One Health Research Group at James Cook University, was traced by an ancestor of a pathogen that was discovered in East Asia.

As it turned out, a fungus eating frogs, quickly spread throughout the world due to the growth of trade between countries. This once again proves that many are pathogenic. And sometimes deadly microorganisms quickly spread to all corners of the planet precisely because of different kinds of interactions between countries, be it trade and tourism.
