What is White-Nose Syndrome? White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a disease that affects bats that hibernate in the winter and is associated with a newly discovered fungus, Geomyces destructans. The disease was named white-nose syndrome because when first discovered, infected bats had white fungus on their muzzles. WNS was first documented in New York in 2006 and has since spread through out the Northeast and Canada.
David: Bats can use all the help we can give them. Weâve trashed their habitat, and now an epidemic called White Nose Syndrome has wiped out about 6 million bats in just the last few years. One easy way to help bats in your neighborhood is by putting up a bat box. So regardless of what side of the âbattyâ spectrum youâre onâ love them or fear themâyou can become an animal ambassador by educating others on how to help protect bats (and yourself) if one ever lands itself on your window.
