A discrete-time susceptible and infected (SI) epidemic model, with less than 100% vertical disease transmission, for the spread of a fungal disease in a structured amphibian host population, is analysed. Criteria for persistence of the population as well as the disease are established. Stability results for host extinction and for the disease-free equilibrium are presented. Bifurcation theory is used to establish existence of an endemic equilibrium.
