Chytrid
conf 2004
How
would you know what’s out there?
8Ask yourself: how many locations did you visit
after frogs started to decline but before chytrid was
identified as the culprit? Did you
disinfect before or after?

being spread by people NOW that haven’t been officially
recognised yet?
ê The CFH has found evidence of four new
problems so far - some of these are obviously contagious.
êWHEN do we decide that
special precautions need to be taken - after the horse has bolted
from the gate?
