presence of white-nose fungus on resting bats. They collected little bits of the fungus?and sent the material to the National Wildlife Health Center where one of Meteyer's colleauges conducted a genetic-fingerprinting analysis,

But fungus on a bat's fur does not?itself constitute disease. For that, Meteyer explains, microscopic analyses of skin tissue must confirm that the pathogen "is eroding it — actually eating away the skin of?the bat." Back in 2010,

In the mean time, Missouri stepped up its surveys of bat-hibernating sites. This March it found signs of white-nose infected animals in two small caves — one hosting fewer than 10 bats and the other?with around 60. Elliott says they collected a little brown bat from one cave and tricolored bats from a second. After euthanizing, the animals were shipped to Meteyer where she confirmed disease was present in both species of bats.
She also cautions that diagnosing the disease can be challenging. Her lab makes definitive assessments of white-nose syndrome, and lately some specimens have arrived?that at least initially?had?a surface coating of a white-nose-like fungus. But it was a benign?imposter,

, she notes. And the rub for those scouting signs of the bat pandemic's spread: "You cannot distinguish those [benign fungi] from white-nose syndrome just by looking at the bat in the cave."
