Experimental infection data of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) from two Michigan hibernacula with Pseudogymnoascus destructans in 2022 and 2024

We conducted an infection experiment to evaluate how little brown bats from two distinct hibernacula in Michigan responded to a standardized exposure to the causative agent of white-nose syndrome. The dataset includes individual bat survival, body weight measurements, infection load assessments, and histological analyses. Additionally, we collected in situ infection load data from bats naturally hibernating at both sites.
