not all, anurans and urodeles are susceptible to Bd infection; morbidity and mortality varies between species. Mortality in tadpoles has not, in the main, been reported (there is one report stating otherwise [Blaustein et al. 2005]) and, to date, viable Bd has not been detected on eggs.”
From OIE (2007):
“Amphibians (all members of the class Amphibia are considered to be susceptible [to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis]).” Infection with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is an OIE-reportable disease.
Threat to Humans
From Schafer (1999):
“There are no negative impacts of these frogs on humans, although the skin of these frogs is highly toxic and unprotected contact can be dangerous. Negative Impacts: injures humans (poisonous)”
Impacts of Introductions
From Somma (2018):
“Unknown; however, their primarily insectivorous diet could impact native endemic species, if this has not happened already. Hawaii has no indigenous frogs (McKeown 1996).”
