White-nose Syndrome Confirmed in Bats at Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park announced that a dead little brown bat collected in the Saint Mary area in May tested positive for white-nose syndrome. Follow-up sampling of live bats in June on the park's east side also revealed the presence of Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the fungus that causes the disease. This marks the first confirmed cases of both the fungus and the syndrome in the park and in Glacier County.
