A fungus is decimating bat

Already proven by the destruction of their habitat due to deforestation or urbanization, the bats that live in North America are facing a virulent fungus , detected for the first time in 2006 in New York, USA. The origins of white nose syndrome (characterized by the appearance of a white ring around the snout), this fungus is deadly pour ces animaux outre-Atlantique. Ainsi, plus de 9 chauves-souris sur 10 touchées par le syndrome en meurent, indique Radio Canada. Au départ, ces décès avaient été observés aux Etats-Unis, mais ils s'étendent aujourd'hui au Canada.


Julien Mainguy, biologiste au ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Québec, explique à la radio que le syndrome du museau blanc "va continuer à se propager à un rythme assez effarant".


Ses répercussions sont multiples. Les chauves-souris se nourrissant d'insectes, leur disparition pourrait entraîner des ravages dans les cultures, or an increase in the number of cases of diseases transmitted by insect bites. And if the Canadian biologists are worried, it's also because this fungus from Europe, attacked the bats of North America, while this is not the case on the Old Continent. These animals do not die.


The Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health decided to establish a protection zone soon and primary research to determine the extent of the spread of the syndrome.
