Mortality of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus carissima) naturally exposed to microcystin-LR
October 2, 2018
We describe a die-off of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus carissima) associated with acute intoxication with microcystin-LR in 2016 at Scofield Reservoir in Utah. High levels of this cyanotoxin in water from the reservoir and gastrointestinal content of bats supported this diagnosis.
