| Summary: | The researchers determined the anuran species richness in the remaining
forest fragments of Barangay Cabangaan, Silang, Cavite. The researchers also
performed toe clipping procedure to detect presence of the chytrid fungus on eight
different anuran species found in the study area. Toe clips were prepared using
standard histopathological slide preparation technique and hematoxylin and eosin
(H and E) staining was employed. A total of eight anuran species were recorded
from this forest fragment. Of the 38 prepared slides (from eight species), none
showed zoosporangia, discharge tubules, and zoospores which could indicate
presence of the chytrid fungus. Result indicates that the eight anuran species from
the forest fragments are not infected with chytridiomycosis. |
