NATURAL HISTORY Taxonomy: There are six recognized subspecies of Yuma Myotis 1. Because of distributional uncertainties, it is unclear which subspecies occur in Wyoming. In general, the subspecies M. y. yumanensis occurs in the southern Rocky Mountains, while M. y. sociabilis occurs in the northern Rocky Mountains 1, 2. Description: Yuma Myotis may be difficult to identify in the field, even by skilled observers. The species is a small vespertilionid bat, but medium in size among bats in the genus Myotis. Pelage color is variable across the species’ range. Dorsal fur is short, dull, and varies from gray and brown to pale tan in color. Ventral fur is lighter in color, white or buffy. The ears, wing, and tail membranes are pale brown to gray 1. Males and females are identical in appearance, but females may be significantly larger than males in some populations 1. Juveniles are similar in appearance but can be differentiated from adults by the lack of ossified joints in the phalanges for the first summer 3, 4. Yuma Myotis is similar in appearance to other co-occurring Myotis species. Yuma Myotis can be distinguished from Long-legged Myotis (M.

Received: 21 February 2019; Accepted: 7 March 2019; Published: 11 March 2019 Abstract: Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) is a known causative agent of neurological disease in bats, humans and horses. It has been isolated from four species of pteropid bats and a single microbat species (Saccolaimus flaviventris). To date, ABLV surveillance has primarily been passive, with active surveillance concentrating on eastern and northern Australian bat populations. As a result, there is scant regional ABLV information for large areas of the country. To better inform the local public health risks associated with human-bat interactions, this study describes the lyssavirus prevalence in microbat communities in the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia. We used targeted real-time PCR assays to detect viral RNA shedding in 839 oral swabs representing 12 species of microbats, which were sampled over two consecutive summers spanning 2016–2018. Additionally, we tested 649 serum samples via Luminex® assay for reactivity to lyssavirus antigens. Active lyssavirus infection was not detected in any of the samples.

  • White-Nose Syndrome the Devastating Disease of Hibernating Bats in North America August 2012
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service White-nose syndrome The devastating disease of hibernating bats in North America August 2012 What is white-nose syndrome? White-nose syndrome is a disease affecting hibernating bats. Named for the white fungus that appears on the muzzle and other body parts of hibernating bats, WNS is associated with extensive mortality of bats in eastern North America. First documented in New York in the winter of 2006-2007, WNS has spread rapidly across the eastern United States and Canada, and the fungus that causes WNS has been detected as far west as Oklahoma. Bats with WNS exhibit uncharacteristic behavior during cold winter months, including flying outside in the day Marvin Moriarty/USFWS and clustering near the entrances of Bat with white-nose syndrome hibernacula. Bats have been found sick Numerous laboratories and state and n Tricolored bat (Perimyotis and dying in unprecedented numbers federal biologists are investigating subflavus) in and around caves and mines. WNS the cause of the bat deaths. A has killed more than 5.5 million bats newly discovered fungus, Geomyces Bat species on which Geomyces in the Northeast and Canada.
