found: Wikipedia, June 29, 2006(Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a recently discovered chytrid fungus that causes the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis. Genus: Batrachochytrium. Order: Chytridiales. It is the only known species of the genus Batrachochytrium. The initial classification of the pathogen as a Chytrid was based on zoospore ultrastructure. DNA analysis of the ssu-rDNA has corroborated the view, with the closest match to Chytridium confervae.)
