Are Pesticides Killing Frogs? Examining The Link Between Pesticide Use and Amphibian Disease- Melody Gavel

This research examines how neonicotinoid pesticides affect frog immune systems, contributing to amphibian decline. Since frogs naturally control mosquito populations, their loss may increase the spread of diseases like malaria. The study aims to inform regulatory policies by linking pesticide exposure to weakened immunity, disease susceptibility, and broader public health risks.
