The recent introduction of Pseudogymnoascus destructans (the fungal pathogen that causes
white-nose syndrome in bats) from Eurasia to North America has resulted in the collapse of …

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 …

Wildlife vaccination is of urgent interest to reduce disease-induced extinction and zoonotic
spillover events. However, several challenges complicate its application to wildlife. For …

Seasonal patterns in pathogen transmission can influence the impact of disease on
populations and the speed of spatial spread. Increases in host contact rates or births drive …

Emerging infectious diseases are a key threat to wildlife. Several fungal skin pathogens
have recently emerged and caused widespread mortality in several vertebrate groups …

A striking feature of white-nose syndrome, a fungal infection of hibernating bats, is the
difference in infection outcome between North America and Europe. Here we show high …

Disease dynamics during pathogen invasion and establishment determine the impacts of
disease on host populations and determine the mechanisms of host persistence. Temporal …

Increases in anthropogenic movement have led to a rise in pathogen introductions and the
emergence of infectious diseases in naive host communities worldwide. We combined …

Disease outbreaks and pathogen introductions can have significant effects on host
populations, and the ability of pathogens to persist in the environment can exacerbate …

Tools for reducing wildlife disease impacts are needed to conserve biodiversity. White-nose
syndrome (WNS), caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans, has caused …
