This is for a review of a chytrid disease in amphibians in Britain, specifically alpine newts as they are an invasive species. Specifically an example case study is required for their showing no symptoms.
these contain data on cases of detected infections in field with no clilnical symptoms mentioned/observed. hope it helps.

Look for Triturus, Mesotriton or Ichthyosaura alpestris references in European countries.
As far as I know, although Bd has been detected in the alpine newt several times (see bd-maps from the answer above) no mortality associated to Bd has been reported so far. On the other side, big mortality cases have recently reported due to Ranavirus in Northern Spain http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096098221401149X
Did you talk to Trent Garner at ZSL? I think he had a student who worked on Bd and Alpine newts in the UK.
Our PLoS ONE paper has some data on Bd infection in Alpine newts:http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0034667
