It is causedby the chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis), a fungus capable of causing sporadic deaths in some amphibian populations and 100% mortality in others. The disease has been implicated in the mass die-offs and species extinctions of frogs in the past 15 years) Wikipedia, June 29, 2006 (Chytridiomycosis is a fatal infectious disease that affects amphibians, caused by the chytrid fungus - Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Chytridiomycosis has caused dramatic population declines or even extinctions in western North America, Central America, South America, and eastern Australia.)
