This project explores the genetic factors contributing to tolerance against White-Nose Syndrome in bats. By comparing DNA samples from North American and European bat species, the research aims to uncover the genetic adaptations that enable some bats to survive this deadly fungal infection.
White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) is a fungal disease affecting bats during hibernation.
Since 2007, an estimated 6 million bats in North-America have died of the infection, which causes bats to prematurely consume the fat reserves deposited for winter hibernation.
The infected bats arouse from hibernation more frequently; probably due to epidermal damage caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), a psychrophilic fungus.
Pd originates from Europe, however, European bats appear to be tolerant to the in…
