Two distinct host-specialized fungal species cause white-nose disease in bats
Nature, Published online: 28 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-09060-5The identification of two cryptic species of the fungal pathogen that causes white-nose disease in bats highlights the need to integrate studies of genetic variability in pathogens into disease surveillance, management and prevention strategies.
