Researches believe they have found a simple cure to an infectious disease responsible for wiping out more than a third of the world’s frog species.
University of Newcastle ecologist, Simon Clulow, said adding pool salt to freshwater habitats has seen a 70 percent survival rate in frogs infected with Chytridiomycosis.
Dr Clulow plans to join scientists in Ecuador, where a habitat is being constructed for a translocation program for the endangered Riobamba marsupial frog.
