Batrachochytrium
''Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis'', ( ) also known as ''Bd'' or the amphibian chytrid fungus, is a chytrid fungus that causes the disease chytridiomycosis in amphibians. In the decade after it was first discovered in 1998, the disease devastated amphibian populations around the world, in a global decline towards multiple extinctions, part of the Holocene extinction. A recently described second species, ''B. salamandrivorans'', also cause chytridiomycosis and death in salamanders.
Some amphibian species appear to have an innate capacity to withstand chytridiomycosis infection. Even within species that generally succumb, some populations survive, possibly demonstrating that these traits or alleles of species are being subjected to evolutionary selection.
==Etymology==
The generic name is derived from the Greek words ''batrachos'' (frog) and ''chytra'' (earthen pot), while the specific epithet is derived from the genus of frogs from which the original confirmation of pathogenicity was made (''Dendrobates'').
