Chytrids are unique among true fungi in that they produce flagellated zoospores. No resting spore or sexual stages are known for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, which is cultured as a diploid. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, known as the amphibian chytrid, is an amphibian pathogen that causes chytridiomycosis; this disease is implicated as the primary cause of the recent declines of frog populations around the world. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infects the skin of frogs, causing thickening of the keratinized layer. It is the only chytrid species known to parasitize vertebrates.
