Assessment of Chytrid Fungus Prevalence amongst Native Amphibian Populations and Introduced Cane Toad

Investigate the prevalence of Chytrid fungus in native Fijian ground frog (Platymantis vitiana) populations in the Fiji Islands, which could be the major missing piece of the conservation puzzle solving the cause of recent native Fijian frog population declines. The occurrences of Chytrid fungus in cool and moist habitats are strong indicators for assessing the prevalence of this disease within isolated natural frog populations in Fiji.
