Bats may have a "spooky" reputation, but one bat disease is causing widespread fear among wildlife biologists: White Nose Syndrome caused by the fungus Geomyces destructans. With a mortality rate near 100%, the disease is devastating bat populations. Daniel Lindner and colleagues used TaKaRa Ex Taq® polymerase to screen for G. destructans in soil samples from bat hibernacula, gathering data and developing testing methods to help bats everywhere. That's Good Science!™ | ||
