Biologists established that in Africa 20 years "frog flu"] storm

More than 40% amphibious are now under the threat of disappearance because of an infectious, fungoid disease hitridiomikoz, biologists from Californian university found out. Research was published in the Frontiers in Conservation Science magazine.
