Tissues from ears of bats (Myotis lucifugus) infected with Pseudogymnoascus destructans (causative agent of White Nose Syndrome) and from uninfected bats. Transcriptome or Gene expression

Genome-wide gene transcriptome profile study to investigate changes in host and agent gene expression resulting from the infection of bats (Myotis lucifugus) with Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), with the goal of identifying fungal pathogenicity factors that may provide insight into disease management strategies.
