Project description:The fungal skin disease chytridiomycosis has caused the devastating decline and extinction of hundreds of amphibian species globally, yet the potential for evolving resistance, and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. We exposed 406 naïve, captive-raised alpine tree frogs (Litoria verreauxii alpina) to the aetiological agent Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in two concurrent and controlled infection experiments. We investigated (A) survival outcomes and clinical pathogen burdens between populations and clutches, and (B) individual host tissue responses to chytridiomycosis. Here we present multiple interrelated datasets associated with these exposure experiments, including animal signalment, survival and pathogen burden of 355 animals from Experiment A, and the following datasets related to 61 animals from Experiment B: animal signalment and pathogen burden; raw RNA-Seq reads from skin, liver and spleen tissues; de novo assembled transcriptomes for each tissue type; raw gene expression data; annotation data for each gene; and raw metabolite expression data from skin and liver tissues. These data provide an extensive baseline for future analyses.

Project description:Amphibians are experiencing dramatic worldwide declines and many species are reliant on captive breeding programs to ensure continued survival. However, captive breeding in amphibians is not always successful because many species, especially ones in decline, have particular and specific breeding needs. The endangered alpine tree frog, Litoria verreauxii alpina, has never been bred in captivity before. Due to its dramatic declines across the Australian Alps caused by the global pandemic chytridiomycosis, the species is a potential candidate for captive assurance colonies, which rely on captive breeding. For this study we tested hormone induction using two hormones that have had some success in other amphibian species, to no avail. We then tried outdoor breeding mesocosms during the winter/spring at temperatures similar to their natural breeding season, which was successful. Sixty-five percent of the egg masses laid successfully hatched tadpoles. Females laid more than one clutch over the experiment indicating either a shorter than annual ovulation cycle, or that females are capable of partial ovulation during breeding events. Outdoor breeding mesocosms are a possibility outside the native climate of a species, provided that temperatures overlap with their natural environment. Here, we highlight that troubleshooting is essential before embarking on a captive breeding program of a species that has not been bred before. Hormonal induction of breeding is not always successful; therefore, outdoor mesocosms might be required to achieve healthy tadpoles.

Project description:The fungal skin disease chytridiomycosis has caused the devastating decline and extinction of hundreds of amphibian species globally, yet the potential for evolving resistance, and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. We exposed 406 naïve, captive-raised alpine tree frogs (Litoria verreauxii alpina) from multiple populations (one evolutionarily naïve to chytridiomycosis) to the aetiological agent Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in two concurrent and controlled infection experiments. We investigated (A) survival outcomes and clinical pathogen burdens between populations and clutches, and (B) individual host tissue responses to chytridiomycosis.
