Glutathione impacts both Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis virulence and amphibian cellular defence in a chytridiomycosis model

Rebecca Jane Webb, Alexandra A. Roberts, Lee Berger…·Lee Francis Skerratt

This study investigates how glutathione affects the virulence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian host resistance in chytridiomycosis, finding that it influences both pathogen growth and host defense mechanisms.
