Paper Finding: Increases in infectiousness as the fungus grows on hibernating bats may drive winter transmission, with loads increasing throughout the winter.
News Context: Host&amp;pathogen ecology drive seasonal dynamics of white-nose syndrome in bats.  Another top paper here: 
Paper Context: If contact with an environmental reservoir drives transmission, then prevalence would be predicted to increase significantly as bats contact infected environments. Increases in infectiousness as the fungus grows on hibernating bats may drive winter transmission, with loads increasing throughout the winter. Phenology varies by latitude; bats in southern sites have shorter hibernation seasons, swarm later in the autumn and return to maternity colonies earlier .
