The increasing prevalence of Anthropogenic spread of Bd is a plausible explanation for at least drug-resistant fungal pathogens in humans [1] and recent some introductions [11,13]. Some amphibian species that are outbreaks of novel fungal pathogens in wildlife populations [2] traded globally may serve as disease reservoirs because they can underscore the need to better understand the origins and carry Bd infections without morbidity. A number of mysteries mechanisms of fungal pathogenicity. One of the most dramatic remain about how Bd has dispersed to and persisted in remote examples of fungal impacts on vertebrate populations is the effect pristine environments where anthropogenic introduction is of the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the chytrid unlikely. If Bd
