Extended Data Fig. 1: Percentages of swab samples collected from the 6 most frequently sampled bat species or combination of bat species.
From: Two distinct host-specialized fungal species cause white-nose disease in bats
(Myotis myotis/M. blythii, Myotis nattereri/M. crypticus/M. escalerai, M. mystacinus, Myotis daubentonii, Myotis dasycneme, M. brandtii) and all other species or combination of species combined (“Other”) per clade (Eurasian sites only). Morphologically cryptic/highly similar species were treated together due to the difficulty of reliable species identification during winter hibernation when bats are not handled to minimise disturbance. Samples from substrates other than bats (n = 267) or without bat species information (n = 1) were not included in this figure, resulting in data from 1,388 and 92 swabs for Pd-1 and Pd-2, respectively. Note that 17 swabs out of 1,463 harboured isolates from both clades and are thus used to calculate percentages in both graphs. See the section ‘Statistical analyses’ in the Methods for statistical analyses formally testing the relationship between clade identity (Pd-1 or Pd-2) and environmental factors, including bat species.
