Examples of intraspecies variation in susceptibility to fungi
| Fungal disease . | Primary fungal pathogen . | Selective species affected . | Comments . | References . |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chalkbrood | Ascosphaera apis | Honeybee | Intracolonial/patrilineal variation in chalkbrood resistance | Invernizzi et al. (2009), Vojvodic et al. (2011), Gerdts et al. (2021) |
| Chytridiomycosis | Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis | Various amphibian species | For example, in frogs, the wood frog is susceptible, and the American bullfrog is resistant | Eskew et al. (2018), Smith et al. (2022) |
| Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans | Various salamandrine species | Lungless salamanders and newts may be particularly vulnerable | Gray et al. (2023), World Organization for Animal Health (2024), Seyedmousavi et al. (2018) | |
| Platypus mucormycosis | Mucor amphibiorum | Tasmanian platypus | Not a typical disease in mainland platypus | Connolly et al. (1998), Webb et al. (2012), Stewart and Munday (2005) |
| White-nose syndrome | Pseudogymnoascus destructans | Nearctic (North American) bats | Palearctic (Eurasian) bats tolerate disease, without population declines. Asian bats may have higher resistance than those of North America Little brown bats show variation in resistance | Hoyt et al. (2016), Langwig et al. (2017), Zukal et al. (2016) |
