White Nose Syndrome (WNS) <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It gets its name from the distinctive\nsymptoms it renders in bats, namely a white fungal growth on their noses,\nmuzzles, and other areas of the body. In North America, this disease is\nspreading quickly among Microchiroptera populations, and has caused millions of\nbat fatalities. Eastern parts of the country have been most affected, but\nreports of WNS detection have come as far West as Oklahoma, and as far North as\nCanada.

Top Facts About WNS:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\u21db Bats infected with WNS will show strange signs and exhibit\nodd behaviors. This includes daytime activity and clustering near the entry\npoints of their roost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u21db According to White-Nose Syndrome.org<\/em>, WNS has caused more than 5.5 million bat deaths to-date in the Northeast parts of the United States and Southern parts of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u21db State and federal biologists are working with several laboratories to continue studying and investigating the correlation between fungi and bat deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u21db White Nose Syndrome affects bats that hibernate. More than 45% of bats in our country are hibernating species, four of which are endangered and already suspected of being infected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u21db Known species affected by WNS include the Big Brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), Little Brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), Eastern small-footed bat (Myotis leibii), Endangered Gray bat (Myotis grisescens), Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), and Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u21db Species that are suspected, but not yet confirmed, to be infected with WNS include the endangered Virginia Big-Eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendii virginianus) and the endangered Ozark big-eared bat (Corynorhiunus townsendii ingens).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u21db WNS is still spreading across North America. Today, more than 19 states (Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, and Indiana) and 4 Canadian provinces have been confirmed sites of WNS outbreaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u21db Geomyces destructans is a newly-discovered fungus that is suspected to cause White Nose Syndrome in bats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u21db Species that are suspected, but not yet confirmed, to be infected with Geomyces destructans include the Cave bat (Myotis velifer) and the Southeastern bat (Myotis austroriparius).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes bats can get too close, and give us trouble.
