Bucknell University Professor: White-nose Syndrome is ‘Unprecedented wildlife disaster.’
With 6.7 million bats already dead, scientists believe the fast-spreading disease called White-nose Syndrome could lead to the extinction of some species.

Lewisburg, PA (PRWEB) April 10, 2012

More than six million bats are dead, and millions more are expected to fall victim to a disease known as White-nose Syndrome, or WNS. First identified in the northeastern United States, WNS has wiped out an estimated 95% of Pennsylvania’s bat population and is quickly spreading across the country. It was most recently discovered in Missouri, Delaware and Alabama.

“This is like bringing small pox to the New World. It is surely an unprecedented wildlife disaster for North America,” said Bucknell University professor Dr. DeeAnn Reeder. Reeder is one of the country’s leading experts on WNS, and one of the researchers responsible for identifying the cause of the disease in 2011. “We can’t stop this thing. It’s marching across the country and we’re going to see some extinction.”

Reeder has been studying the disease since shortly after it was discovered in a New York cave in 2006. Since then it was been detected in at least 17 other states. Few bats exposed to the fungus that causes WNS survive.

“I was recently in a mine where I should’ve seen 10,000 or so bats. There were 150,” Reeder recalled. “We don’t know if the survivors have some immunity, or are lucky. If they’re just lucky, we’re in trouble.”

While Reeder and other scientists are turning their attention to surviving bats, and the clues they may provide in slowing the spread of WNS, the impact of the devastation to the country’s bat population could be severe. Reeder says for every one million bats that die, 692 tons of insects that would have been eaten by the bats, survive the summer months. That includes mosquitoes and agricultural pests. Recent studies show bats provide billions of dollars worth of agricultural and pest-killing services.

...mosquitoes... great... :-?...

Funny thing,.. 20 yrs ago mosquitoes were as rare as penguins out here. Now, every summer, I can't work for 5 min in my carport with becoming a human pincushion...

I don't know if this is just an internet thing
or if it's for real, but if it is real this would
sadly just be another drop in the bucket for
the alarming mass die-offs of all kinds of
species worldwide.

Possibly the earths natural balance has finally
been upset beyond self-repair.

From the collapse of the bee colonies to thousands
of dead dolphins to a mysterious "robotic cat" illness
that is puzzling vets in europe things are not good.

Now the question is: WHY?

Are these occurrences "normal" and simply
today much more reported on and televised?
or is this just a preview of things to come regarding
changes in our planet because of modern pollution??

Could this be related to the gulf or fukushima?

Could these occurrences be maybe related to the
magnetosphere and solar storms?

Are "they" maybe going a bit overboard testing GMOs,
pesticides, biotech, nanotech and scalar weapons?

Einstein Once said:
“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe,
man would have only four years to live,” this due
to almost 1/2 of ALL crops in the world being dependent
on insect pollination to survive to the next harvest season.

If this thing continues, & we lose bats like this guy is talking about,, say, like he found 150 or so in a cave where 10,000 should have been, then we will see bugs at a level weve never dreamed, err had nightmares about,,

Plenty of bats here... my chimney and all 3 on the old manor house are over run with them. So is the pool house. And the old chicken house. Even found one in the engine compartment of my 49 Dodge truck.
