Figure 1

Bar graphs of average zoospore growth at 500 µg/mL. Graphs represent GIA results of % Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) zoospore growth at 500 µg/mL hellbender skin peptide concentrations compared to positive controls based on different group parameters. Note that a decrease in zoospore growth denotes an increase in zoospore inhibition. Standard error bars present. Variation in zoospore growth grouped by subspecies (A), capture region within subspecies (B), presence/absence of toe lesions at time of collection (C), and Bd status via qPCR from skin swabs taken at time of collection (D).
