How do bats prevent white nose syndrome?

Bats cannot actively prevent white-nose syndrome, as it is caused by the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans. However, they can mitigate its impact by maintaining healthy populations and habitats that support their immune systems. Conservation efforts focus on minimizing human disturbance in caves and monitoring bat populations to identify and manage outbreaks. Additionally, researchers are exploring potential treatments and vaccines to protect bats against the fungus.
