Amphibian disease in the UK

Worldwide one third of all amphibian species are thought to be threatened with extinction and many others face severe population declines. Habitat loss is the main cause of declines worldwide, but there is growing concern surrounding the threats posed by infectious disease. 

Froglife and the Institute of Zoology have been working on the issue of amphibian disease in the UK since 1992, through our Frog Mortality Project.

  • Have you come across dead amphibians in your garden? If so you can use our Disease pages to identify the possible cause.

  • Contribute your information on dead amphibians to our Frog Mortality Questionnaire. This data contributes to our work on amphibian disease in the UK, forming a basis for further research.

  • Find out about our Frog Disease Appeal - help us continue this important work by contributing financially to our urgent plans for summer 2008.

  • If your frogs appear healthy then we still want to know about it! Our online Frogwatch survey provides us important control data for our work on amphibian disease.
