Scientists say the arrival of the white-nose syndrome in B.C. is 'imminent,' and are asking people to report signs of dead bats.
After white-nose syndrome was, scientists say the arrival of the fungus in B.C. is “imminent,” and are asking people to report any signs of dead bats.
Since it was detected close to B.C. the South Vancouver Island Community Bat Program and province are asking people to report dead bats so they can be checked for the fungus. “Because hibernation is really energy expensive waking up from that can be deadly,” said Danielle Buckle, Habitat Acquisition Trust’s Southern Vancouver Island Bat Program Coordinator. “So it leads to starvation and hypothermia and then unfortunately they just can’t survive after that.”
At this time, there is no cure for white-nose syndrome, but reporting dead bats can help scientists research the fungus and work to find a cure – and there are several promising treatments in the works.“Mostly reporting a dead bat allows us to test for it and if it does have the disease, we can be on top of it and know where it is,” Buckle said.
