Asian relative of cane toad threatens Madagascar
By Rebecca Morelle
Science correspondent, BBC News
A relative of the cane toad, which has devastated wildlife in Australia, has invaded Madagascar, scientists report.
The Asian common toad was first seen on the island in March, and there have been several sightings since.

...The fear is that the poisonous amphibians could poison local wildlife and carry diseases, such as the deadly chytrid fungus that has killed amphibians around the world.
