White Nose Syndrome in Bats: joint research of the Brno research institutes
Scientists from research centres of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Masaryk University, and Veterinary and Pharmaceutical University in Brno have proved that bats here suffer from white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease that is threatening the ecosystem in North America. In the Czech Republic as well as in other parts of Europe, bats with this syndrome die only very rarely and the disease has not yet caused a decline in the population numbers. Uncovering the cause of ‘European immunity’ could save North American bats and avert also the disruption of the biological balance in that part of the world.
