Fungus causing White-Nose Syndrome in bats accumulates genetic variability in North America and shows no sign of recombination

2017-03-27

Abstract excerpt

Emerging fungal diseases of wildlife are on the rise worldwide (3) and the best lens on the evolution of the fungal pathogens is population genomics. Our genome-wide analysis shows that the newly introduced North American population of Pseudogymnoascus destructans , the causal agent of White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) in bats, has expanded in size, has begun to accumulate variation through mutation, and presents no evid...
