Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (
Bsal) is a chytridiomycete fungus that causes the lethal skin disease chytridiomycosis (chytrid disease) in amphibian species. It mainly affects salamanders and newts.
It does not affect humans.
Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is a notifiable animal disease. If you suspect this disease you must report it immediately by calling the Defra Rural Services Helpline on 03000 200 301. Failure to do so is an offence.
Bsal was first detected in wild salamanders in Europe in 2013. It was most likely introduced to Europe through trade in captive amphibians from South East Asia to Europe, where it then spread from the captive to the wild salamander population.
