There is an epidemic within the bat community of the US that has a
surprising rate of spread, and is apparently fatal, and may result in
the loss of bats within the US:

This will have huge impact on farming and the rest of us due to the
bat population being key in controlling the insect population.
Anyone got a clue on how this could be controlled? Sounds complex to
me! Seriously, if any researchers listening in have ideas, pass them
on to the folks trying to understand this.
