SUMMARY - A Yuma bat from Colorado in March 2023 tested positive for "White-Nose Syndrome," a lethal infection for North American bat species which is caused by a fungus called "
Pseudogymnoascus destructans" or "
Pd" for short. The fungus is of European origin, as European bat species have adapted to it but North American bat species have not, causing a pandemic amongst bat species.
