Assessment of Culverts and Bridges as Roosting Habitat for Perimyotis subflavus (tri-colored bat) and Disease Transmission Corridors for Pseudogymnoascus destructans
<p><em>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</em> is an emerging fungal pathogen causing precipitous declines in North American bats due to the development of white-nose syndrome. Since 2006, 34 U.S. states and 7 Canadian provinces have confirmed the presence of <em>P. destructans</em>. Due to the rapid …

Nutritional capability of and substrate suitability for Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the causal agent of bat white-nose syndrome
Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the causal agent of bat white-nose syndrome, has caused nearly six million deaths in North American bats since its introduction into the United States in 2006. Current research has shown that caves can harbor P. destructans even after the infected bats are removed and …

MICROBIAL COMMENSALS OF TRICOLORED BATS IN GEORGIA AND THEIR PROBIOTIC POTENTIAL
<p><em>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</em> (Pd) is a fungal pathogen that has been spreading in North American bats since its initial discovery in 2006. <em>P. destructans</em> is the causative agent of white-nose syndrome (WNS), a disease leading to as much as a 90% decrease in some eastern United …

Evaluating Volatile Organic Compounds for Contact-Independent Antagonism of Pseudogymnoascus destructans and Assessing the Impact of Fungal Pigmentation on Antifungal Susceptibility
… by the psychrophilic fungus <em>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</em>, has been implicated in the massive decline of hibernating bat populations across North America and has led to the listing of impacted species under the US endangered Species Act. Due to the importance of bats to biodiversity and …

Cellular Copper Import Mechanisms via Secreted Cuproproteins: Exploring Metal Homeostasis in Pseudogymnoascus destructans
… response of the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), which causes White-Nose Syndrome in bats. Special emphasis is placed on understanding how cellular metal status effects Bim1-like Proteins (BLPs) and high-affinity copper transporters (CTR proteins) transcription levels. These two …

Assessing threats to North American bats: impacts of white-nose syndrome and climate on reproduction and survival
… in 2006. The fungal pathogen, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, infects the wings, ears and nose of bats that hibernate in caves in winter while both cave temperatures and bats’ body temperatures are low. The hibernating bats' immune systems do not respond to the infection, leading to wing damage, …
