Logistic regression analysis of little brown myotis (<i>Myotis lucifugus</i>) survival when experimentally inoculated with <i>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</i> under varying conditions.

<p>Logistic regression analysis of little brown myotis (<i>Myotis lucifugus</i>) survival when experimentally inoculated with <i>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</i> under varying conditions.</p

Average duration of torpor bouts (days) for little brown myotis (<i>Myotis lucifugus</i>) inoculated with different doses of <i>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</i> (<i>Pd</i>) conidia and hibernated for five months at either 4 or 10°C.

<p>Within each temperature, treatments not sharing common superscript letters were significantly different (<i>P</i><0.05). All doses differed between temperatures (<i>P</i><0.05).</p

Comparison of survival rates (percent) for little brown myotis (<i>Myotis lucifugus</i>) inoculated with different doses of <i>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</i> (<i>Pd</i>) conidia and hibernated for five months at either 4 or 10°C.

<i>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</i> (<i>Pd</i>) DNA detected at the end of hibernation on little brown myotis (<i>Myotis lucifugus</i>) inoculated with varying doses of <i>Pd</i> conidia and hibernated for five months at either 4°C (A) or 10°C (B).

<p>Individual observations are represented with open circles and medians represented by horizontal lines. At both temperatures, significantly less <i>Pd</i> was detected on bats in the 500 conidia group than on bats in other treatment groups. At 4°C, less <i>Pd</i> was detected on bats inoculated with 5 000 conidia compared to bats inoculated with 500 000.</p
