Chytridiomycosis in a colony of hellbenders <i>Cryptobranchus alleganiensis</i>
The chytridiomycosis outbreak was most likely caused by sudden environmental stress due to filtration failure and secondary bacterial infection. The surviving animals have not shown any clinical signs of chytridiomycosis for more than 1 year after the treatment and were released the wild river system.
