Why does white‐nose syndrome (wns) affect hibernating bats more than active bats?

body temperatures are lowered during hibernation.

torpor exhausts bats' energy reserves.

bats become severely dehydrated because they have no access to water during hibernation.

wns decreases the number of arousals from torpor, leading to starvation.

active bats can fight off the infection.

Bats devastated by deadly fungus the most common bat species in north america, the little brown bat, could be facing extinction because of a fungus. the fungus, called white-nose syndrome, grows on the exposed skin of bats as they hibernate in cool caves or mines. infected bats develop lesions (sores) on their wings, which play important roles in water balance, circulation and heat regulation. these lesions on a bat’s wings or on its nose cause the bat to wake up during hibernation. waking up early forces the bat to use up the energy it has stored as fat for its long sleep, exhausting the animal and eventually killing it. in some infected caves, 90 percent to 100 percent of bats die. on average, the disease takes out 73 percent of the bat population at a given hibernation site. if infection continues at current rates, the researchers predict that the little brown bat population will drop below 0.01 percent of its current numbers by 2026. the loss of the little brown bat would be harmful for humans because bats eat their body weight in insects each night. many of these bugs are agricultural pests or carriers of human disease. one way to decrease the spread of the disease would be for the researchers who visit infected caves to decontaminate their clothes and gear with antiseptics. it has also been suggested that a small number of these bats could be placed in an artificial hibernating area and medicated to protect them. describe one way that an infection with the white-nose fungus can cause death in little brown bats.
