[HTML][HTML] What are the 100 most cited fungal genera?
The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

The skin I live in: Pathogenesis of white-nose syndrome of bats
M Isidoro-Ayza, JM Lorch, BS Klein - PLoS Pathogens, 2024 - journals.plos.org
The emergence of white-nose syndrome (WNS) in North America has resulted in mass
mortalities of hibernating bats and total extirpation of local populations. The need to mitigate …

Determinants of defence strategies of a hibernating European bat species towards the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans
Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), the causative agent of white-nose syndrome in North
America, has decimated bat populations within a decade. The fungus impacts bats during …

Transcriptional host–pathogen responses of Pseudogymnoascus destructans and three species of bats with white-nose syndrome
Understanding how context (eg, host species, environmental conditions) drives disease
susceptibility is an essential goal of disease ecology. We hypothesized that in bat white …

Resistance is futile: RNA-sequencing reveals differing responses to bat fungal pathogen in Nearctic Myotis lucifugus and Palearctic Myotis myotis
Resistance and tolerance allow organisms to cope with potentially life-threatening
pathogens. Recently introduced pathogens initially induce resistance responses, but natural …

When the host's away, the pathogen will play: the protective role of the skin microbiome during hibernation
The skin of animals is enveloped by a symbiotic microscopic ecosystem known as the
microbiome. The host and microbiome exhibit a mutualistic relationship, collectively forming …
