Bd and Atelopus podocarpus in Ecuador streams surrounding the lake system were unsuccessful at locating any more individuals. Tadpoles of G. yacuri , a recently described, locally endemic species ( Carvajal-Endara et al. 2019), were characterized by particularly high Bd prevalence (93%, n = 15) and infection loads. For Gastrotheca species in general, Yacuri had a significantly higher infection burden (P <0.05) than Madrigal and Urdaneta, the other two sites for which tadpoles were analyzed ( Fig. 3).
