Invasion Dynamics of White-Nose Syndrome Fungus, Midwestern United States, 2012–2014 - Volume 21, Number 6—June 2015 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC

Abstract

White-nose syndrome has devastated bat populations in eastern North America. In Midwestern United States, prevalence increased quickly in the first year of invasion (2012-13) but with low population declines. In the second year (2013-14), environmental contamination led to earlier infection and high population declines. Interventions must be implemented before or soon after fungal invasion to prevent population collapse.
