Eight U.S. bat species are listed as endangered, or on the brink of extinction.
The federal Fish and Wildlife Service designated the northern long-eared bat as endangered last year and has proposed listing for the tricolored bat. The little brown bat is being evaluated for potential listing. White-nose syndrome is the primary killer for each of the species.
Among methods under development are vaccines, anti-fungal sprays and ultraviolet light treatments for hibernation spots.
