Affected SpeciesCurrently affected by White-nose Syndrome are seven hibernating species in the Northeastern U.S.
White-nose Syndrome has now reached significant hibernation sites of the gray myotis, another federally endangered species, and Virginia big-eared bats, an endangered subspecies. Although gray bats were recently documented with WNS-associated fungus, Virginia big-eared bats have not been confirmed with WNS. According to the USGS, 25 of the 46 U.S. bat species hibernate in caves and mines and thus could be affected by White-nose Syndrome in the future.
