Population genetics as a tool to elucidate pathogen reservoirs: Lessons from <i>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</i> , the causative agent of white-nose disease in bats

2021-02-04

Abstract excerpt

Emerging infectious diseases pose a major threat to human, animal, and plant health. The risk of species-extinctions increases when pathogens can survive in the absence of the host, for example in environmental reservoirs. However, identifying such reservoirs and modes of infection is often highly challenging. In this study, we investigated the presence and nature of an environmental reservoir for the ascomycete f...
