Investigating and Managing the Rapid Emergence of White‐Nose Syndrome, a Novel, Fatal, Infectious Disease of Hibernating Bats

1 Feb 2011

Abstract excerpt

White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a fatal disease of bats that hibernate. The etiologic agent of WNS is the fungus Geomyces destructans, which infects the skin and wing membranes. Over 1 million bats in six species in eastern North America have died from WNS since 2006, and as a result several species of bats may become endangered or extinct. Information is lacking on the pathogenesis of G. destructans and WNS, WNS...
