- * Most salamanders survived high levels of Bd infection regardless of vaccination type, though immune gene expression varied; oral vaccination prompted stronger immune responses compared to topical or sham methods.
- * Bd infection significantly changed the skin microbiome without a direct link to pathogen load, indicating that while hellbenders initially react strongly, their immune response does not effectively control the disease over time.
