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.
