Skin Microbiota Variation Among Bat Species in China and Their Potential Defense Against Pathogens

Zhongle Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the skin microbiomes of bats in China were characterized using sequencing methods. It was found that different bat species had distinct skin microbial communities, which were influenced by environmental factors, sampling sites, and host body condition. The skin microbiota of bats were enriched in bacterial taxa with low relative abundances in the environment, and had potential functions related to metabolism and defense against pathogens.

Ecology and impacts of white-nose syndrome on bats

Joseph R. Hoyt et al.

Summary: This review discusses the impact of Pseudogymnoascus destructans on bat populations and communities in North America, emphasizing the importance of understanding host life history in uncovering the ecology of the pathogen. It also delves into the patterns of P. destructans spread, pathogenesis of white-nose syndrome, and the cross-scale impact from individual hosts to ecosystems. The research highlights how early pathogen detection and quantification of host impacts have accelerated the understanding of this newly emerging infectious disease.

The scope and severity of white-nose syndrome on hibernating bats in North America

Tina L. Cheng et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the threat impact of white-nose syndrome on bat populations by analyzing winter bat count data. Declines of more than 90% were observed in three bat species, classifying the severity of the WNS threat as extreme. Data-sharing allowed for a comprehensive evaluation of the scope and severity of the threat.

Mycobiome Traits Associated with Disease Tolerance Predict Many Western North American Bat Species Will Be Susceptible to White-Nose Syndrome

Karen J. Vanderwolf et al.

Summary: White-nose syndrome (WNS), caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans, has severely impacted bat populations in eastern North America and is now spreading to western North America. Certain traits of the skin mycobiome, specifically yeast diversity and abundance, are associated with resistance to WNS. Only one species of western North American bats was predicted to be resistant to WNS based on yeast species diversity models.
