  • The life cycle on the frog starts when the motile zoospore (top right) attaches to the epidermal layer (top left) and penetrates the stratum corneum. The zoosporangium is roughly spherical.
  • Growth is demonstrated by increase in diameter of the zoosporangium and complexity of its contents.
  • During development the discharge papilla develops (third diagram from left) .
  • This allows escape of the zoospores when the cap is lost (fifth diagram from left).
