Integrated Disease Management System Approach to Reduce White-Nose Syndrome Mortality in Texas

White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a deadly disease affecting hibernating bats all over the United States, including Texas. There are promising treatment options for this disease, but the logistical feasibility of these treatments – as well as the potential disturbance caused to bats by these treatments – require further investigation. In this project, we examined the feasibility of applying two different treatment options to tri-colored bat culvert hibernacula in East Texas and the level of disturbance caused to bats by their application.
