What happened to the amphibians is now motivating researchers to conduct a study. They aim to study the future spread of ailments by means of the international wildlife trade. One threatening pathogen is Bsal or Batrachochytrieum salamandrivorans. Experts want to prevent the spread of disease-causing organisms to local wildlife. This is possible by updating the trade regulations. This can target the hosts of these pathogens as the scientists identify them.
Everything is connected on this planet. One minor disruption can cause a large ripple in the food chain or food web. The significant loss of amphibians paved the way for the increase in the number of disease-carrying mosquitoes. That is why many scientists are exerting efforts in preventing such disruptions from happening again.
