Frogs kick back against lethal fungus https://knowablemagazine.org/content/article/living-world/2024/new-strategies-offer-hope-for-frogs-dying-from-fungus

Still others are investigating #viruses that attack Bd and eventually might be used to reduce its virulence. These innovative strategies are emerging like slimy glimmers of hope on an otherwise gloomy landscape"
