My article is titled, "Global Trade Spreads a Fatal Amphibian Disease" by Jim Robbins. This article talks about how recent amphibian trades have caused a disease known as chytrid to be created and spread. This fungal disease is causing the amphibian population to decrease by infecting the amphibian's skin cells by thickening the skin, reducing its ability of the skin to absorb water and salts. American bullfrogs are the carriers of this disease because they are immune to it. This disease is causing the amphibian population to decline.
