The increased expression of pro-inflammatory interleukins and chemokines (e.g. interleukins, IL-8; IL-7; IL-1β; and C-X-C motif chemokine 10, CXCL10) parallels the transcriptional response of adult frog skin to the chytrid fungus Batrachochytridium dendrobatidis (BD) infection and entry (Ellison et al., 2014). The gene discussed is IL7; the disease is infection.
