Re: [Texascavers] Pseudogynoascus destructans in Texas

[Julia Germany]

Very interesting to see it confirmed this year in Chambers Co, located between 
Harris and Jefferson counties, yet not in those two counties.

25% of Chamers Co is marshland and includes parts of Trinity and Galveston bay: 
tons of mosquitoes.

Anahuac National Wildlife Preserve is located on the bay side and somewhat 
inland.  Mostly coastal birds. And tons of mosquitoes.

The rest of the 871 sq miles is agricultural crops: lots of pests.

And some forest.

And a major river: Trinity.

Wonder which bats are prevalent in Chambers County?

Dear Fellow Texas Cavers,

I just received the following message from the US Fish and Wildlife Service 
with the two attached files:

“Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has released their results from Pd and WNS 
surveillance efforts for this past winter.  The results show detections of 
evidence of Pd in a number of counties in central and eastern counties. It's 
important to note that they have not yet confirmed the disease in any Texas 
bats, but they have found the fungus on three species.“

Dear Fellow New Mexico Cavers,

Pd is on the doorstep.

I meant to type "Pd", not "Bd".  Bd is a fungus that is killing amphibians, 
another issue we are dealing with in Texas.  If anyone is interested in how Bd 
and caves are related, check out this paper:

Re: [Texascavers] Pseudogynoascus destructans in Texas

WNS researchers found no evidence of Bd on bats they swabbed at the cave in 
Blanco Co.  This is a relief since it had been detected there previously.  
Vigilance and hygiene, my friends!AGG
