Vaccinating the Relict Leopard Frog: An Effort to Inform Management Strategy

Chytrid Fungus Vaccination Experiments for Relict Leopard Frogs

Summary

ABSTRACT: Relict leopard frogs have been petitioned for listing and were found in 2016 to not be warranted based on existing conservation efforts, primarily through the Clark County MSHCP. Clark County is revising their MSHCP and intends to remove relict leopard frogs as not being directly impacted by development activities covered by the plan. Consequently, conservation and research support that was anticipated in the 2016 review is not available. This project would explore the potential of vaccinating relict leopard frogs to chytrid (Bd), monitor individuals, and determine if relocation and augmentation success can be improved with vaccinations.
