The Last of Us may be over for now, but fungus pandemic news endures. Here's my story on how white-nose disease, which has battered North American bats, may have more devastation in store. 🧪 Gift link: nyti.ms/4mGRyV8
A Fungus Devastated North American Bats. A New Species Could Deliver a Killer Blow. (Gift Article)
Scientists have learned that another species of fungus found in Europe and Asia causes white-nose disease, which has ravaged bat populations in the United States and Canada.

This is a scary article by Carl Zimmer about the how scientists have found a second species of the fungus that causes white nose syndrome in bats. A potentially devastating development 🧪🦇

After 15 years of research, we're excited to share that the causative agent of White-Nose Syndrome/Disease is actually two cryptic fungal species, each showing host specialisation. We've also traced the introduction to North America back to Podillia, Ukraine.

Two distinct host-specialized fungal species cause white-nose disease in bats - Nature
The identification of two cryptic species of the fungal pathogen that causes white-nose disease in bats highlights the need to integrate studies of genetic variability in pathogens into disease surveillance, management and prevention strategies.
