VS: Today is April 5, 2007. It’s Thursday morning. I’m here with Mr. and Mrs. Dominick Marletto, who live in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. Mr. Marletto was a veteran of P.O. Box 1142 and worked at Fort Hunt during the Second World War. My name is Vince Santucci. I’m the chief ranger at the George Washington Memorial Parkway. This interview is part of the ongoing oral history project involving the World War II history of Fort Hunt Park, part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Really appreciate your courtesy in allowing us to meet with you this morning and be able to talk [01:00] about some very important times during the Second World War. The first question I had is, if you could just provide a little bit of background information in terms of your family, where you were born, your schooling, whether you were drafted or volunteered in the Army, any sort of military training. DM: Well, I was born and raised in Sharon, Pennsylvania, and been here all my life. I went to Sharon schools. I was drafted. The time came and I was rejected the first time, I think about my eyes, but on second thought, they took me in. After orientation and all that, they sent us to Fort Hunt [01:55]. Well, it was P.O. Box 1142 [02:00]. Of course, you know, we were asked not to tell anyone of our address.

    Detection of the Pathogenic Fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, in Anurans of Huntley Meadows Park, Fairfax County, Virginia Todd A. Tupper1†*, Lauren D. Fuchs2†, Caitlin O’Connor-Love1 Robert Aguilar3 Christine Bozarth1, David Fernandez1 1Northern Virginia Community College Department of Math, Science, and Engineering 5000 Dawes Avenue Alexandria, Virginia 22311 2George Mason University Department of Systems Biology 10900 University Blvd Manassas, VA 20110 3Smithsonian Environmental Research Center Fish and Invertebrate Ecology Lab 647 Contees Wharf Road Edgewater, Maryland 21037 *Corresponding author: [email protected] †Authors contributed equally to the development of the manuscript Introduction The chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (hereafter Bd), has been identified as a proximate driver of amphibian population declines and extinctions worldwide (Lambertini et al., 2016; Lips et al., 2006; Olson et al., 2013). The pathogen is now widespread across much of North America, demonstrating a highly heterogeneous spatial distribution (Lannoo et al., 2011). Bd-related declines have been documented in several western states (Arizona, California and Colorado; Bradley et al., 2002; Briggs et al., 2005; Muths et al., 2003). Portions of the southwest and the eastern United States have reported high prevalence of the pathogen, but without concomitant declines (Lannoo et al., 2011; Petersen et al., 2016). Bd is a pathogenic mycotic species, which produces flagellated, motile spores that colonize keratinized epithelial cells in the skin of adult amphibians, and keratinized mouthparts of larval amphibians (Brutyn et al., 2012). Clinical manifestations of Bd infection reflect the diseased state known as chytridiomycosis. Hyperplasia and keratosis in the diseased state interfere with cutaneous respiration and osmoregulation, and can be lethal (Berger et al., 1998; Kilpatrick et al., 2010; Rachowicz et al., 2006; Voyles et al., 2009).
