摘要
Dead specimens of Telmatobius atacamensis and T pisanoi were found in 2 localities in northwestern Argentina. The diagnosis was positive for chytridiomycosis caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Zoosporangia were identified in different stages: immature, mature with zoospores, empty and collapsed. This is the second report of chytricliomycosis in Argentina but the first one involving highly endangered species.
