| Abstract | This project focuses on developing an immune-based strategy to prevent White Nose Syndrome (WNS), a lethal fungal infection of hibernating bats that is spreading across North America. This research will develop a deeper understanding of how the fungal pathogen attacks, and guide management strategies for protecting bats against the devastating impact of WNS. Specifically, the research team will interrogate how a fungal pathogen invades skin through the role of the epidermal growth factor recepto |
