Figure 4. Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) DNA detected at the end of hibernation on little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus) inoculated with varying doses of Pd conidia and hibernated for five months at either 4°C (A) or 10°C (B).

Individual observations are represented with open circles and medians represented by horizontal lines. At both temperatures, significantly less Pd was detected on bats in the 500 conidia group than on bats in other treatment groups. At 4°C, less Pd was detected on bats inoculated with 5 000 conidia compared to bats inoculated with 500 000.
