| Abstract | As one-fifth of all mammals on Earth, bats play an important role in supporting the health of diverse ecosystems by controlling insect populations, pollinating plants, and harboring unique immune systems that can provide insight into preventing and treating disease. Unfortunately, white-nose syndrome (WNS), caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans, has devastated North American bat populations, killing millions in one of the greatest wildlife disease epidemics in US history.
