South Carolina white-nose syndrome response plan

Abstract

White-nose Syndrome is a disease characterized by the white fungus species Pseudogymnoascus destructans which forms on the noses and wing membranes of affected hibernating bats. The objective of this plan is to coordinate with cooperators and partners of the conservation community in creating and adhering to state and federal White-nose Syndrome Response Plan guidelines which address the prevention and spread of WNS in South Carolina.
