This bat was originally collected during the same month and in the same county as the Washington bat with previously confirmed WNS. Histological analysis indicated that this second <em>Pd<\/em>-positive bat from Washington lacked lesions indicative of WNS. However, detection of <em>Pd<\/em> on this silver-haired bat by PCR is consistent with previous reports for this species in the eastern U.S. and suggests that silver-haired bats may be a carrier of the fungal pathogen. Unlike little brown bats, silver-haired bats do not seem to suffer mortality from WNS.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwhc.usgs.gov\/publications\/wildlife_health_bulletins\/WHB_2016-05_WNS_updates.pdf\">See this link for the full story.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">&nbsp; [PHOTO: Pseudogymnoascus destructans isolates] A single silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans) submitted to the Washington Department of Health for rabies testing and subsequently transferred to the National Wildlife Health Center&hellip;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[87,654,216,88,89],"class_list":["post-2595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-endangered-species","tag-bats","tag-help-the-bats","tag-pseudogymnoascus-destructans","tag-white-nose-syndrome","tag-wns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2595"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2595\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2603,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2595\/revisions\/2603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
