According to the Ministry of the Environment, the spread of the so -called salamander plague leads locally to strong inventory in fire salamies in Rhineland-Palatinate. “Other cocks such as mountain, pond, thread and chamber newt can be proven to be healthy from a BSal disease,” says State Secretary Erwin Manz (Greens) to a small request from AfD member of the state parliament Ralf Schönborn.
Bsal is a main mushroom. The abbreviation comes from Batrachochytrium Salamandrorans. The origin is not finally clarified, but an early detection of the pathogenic is important to slow down the spread of the disease, Manz writes.
Salamander plague has spread since 2017
The infectious disease, which was spreading in the event of cocks, was first discovered in Rhineland-Palatinate in 2017 and has spread since then, over the districts of Bitburg-Prüm and Vulkaneifel. Out of 105 examined locations in the West Eifel, 18 BSal-positive have been.
The fungus will tower inside and between types of amphibians. The transfer by other animals such as wild boars or human action is suspected, but is not proven. As part of a project, various recommendations for action were developed from 2021 to 2024.
