Not as far as anything I've read but I can spread the word.
what a great-out-of-the-box thought. I certainly seems to be a factor regarding other animals. If any of that can become part of the picture I've been forming then perhaps some of the bars placed across cave opening aren't just for Humans LOL. In reality it could very well be for any animal biped or not including us since before this really came to light there may have been some cross contamination from clothing of gear? It's easy to see fur doing the same thing and perhaps worse. Wild animals who might inhabit caves are for the most part territorial unless something like the large fires in the PacNW or drought uproot them or destroy what they feed on. There are species of eastern bats too that do migrate west. It does in any case appear that the WNS is an airborne virus.
It's going to be tough to get rid of this one but as far as insect populations go it has to be controlled somehow.
Don't worry, I'll get back onto topic here next post. This has truly been interesting to learn about though.
