Bat Submission Guidelines (Winter 2018-2019)

Detailed Description

The following sample submission guidelines are for use when evaluating unusual bat morbidity or mortality during Winter 2018/2019 identified through either passive surveillance efforts (i.e. public reporting, rabies lab submissions) or active surveillance efforts (i.e. hibernacula surveys, spring trapping). They are meant to assist with prioritizing appropriate field samples for laboratory submission based on presence/absence of WNS clinicalsigns, geographic location, and prior knowledge of WNS status at a site.
