Description
The southwestern united states is currently at the leading edge of the invasion of the fungal pathogen responsible for this disease, pseudogymnoascus destructans (PD). Our sampling in this region over the past decade has documented this advancing front of PD, first starting with infections in oklahoma and texas and then spreading to bats in new mexico, arizona, and california. Yet, the arrival of PD in the southwest has not meant the concomitant emergence of the disease WNS, as most bats sampled in the region to date have limited to no signs of skin infection or disease. The typical WNS disease progression that we and others have documented in the east, midwest, and in several canadian provinces is PD arrival followed by WNS emergence 1 to 3 years after first detection of the fungus. In contrast, southwestern bats appear to have a delayed progression of disease with no signs of WNS four or more years after PD arrival. However, PD is still a relatively recent arrival, and understanding the full extent of WNS dynamics in the southwest are only in beginning. Our project will investigate this apparent delayed progression of WNS to better understand the invasion dynamics of this disease in southwestern bats and determine what factors may be enabling these bats to persist despite infection by PD.
