Pd Surveillance Sample Storage-Extraction Experiment Data Release Pd Surveillance Sample Storage-Extraction Experiment Data Release
Storage-Extraction_Experiment.csv: These data include the qPCR results (Ct values and copy numbers) of DNA extracted from swab samples inoculated with Pd conidia (1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 conidia), stored at various temperatures (ambient temperature, 4°C, or -20°C), with or without RNAlater® preservative, for various durations (3 days, 1 month, or 3 months), and extracted with either a...
Data release for mortality events in Yuma myotis (Myotis yumanensis) due to white-nose syndrome in Washington, USA, 2020-2024 Data release for mortality events in Yuma myotis (Myotis yumanensis) due to white-nose syndrome in Washington, USA, 2020-2024
The impacts of white-nose syndrome (WNS) on many bat species in eastern North America have been well-documented due to the length of time that the causative agent, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), has been present and the ability to monitor bat hibernacula in that region. However, the disease outcomes for bat species in western North America are less known because of the more recent...

These data were collected as part of a voluntary initiative to create a White-Nose Syndrome Diagnostic Laboratory Network among laboratories participating in research and surveillance for Pseudogymonascus destructans (Pd) - the fungal pathogen causing White-Nose Syndrome in bats. Pd_qPCR_InterlaboratoryLODdata.xlsx is raw qPCR data from multiple laboratories running serial dilutions of...

First detection of bat white-nose syndrome in western North America First detection of bat white-nose syndrome in western North America
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is an emerging fungal disease of bats caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans. Since it was first detected near Albany, NY, in 2006, the fungus has spread across eastern North America, killing unprecedented numbers of hibernating bats. The devastating impacts of WNS on Nearctic bat species are attributed to the likely introduction of P. destructans from Eurasia...
