Discovery of novel fungal species and pathogens on bat carcasses in a cave in Yunnan Province, China by Samantha Chandranath Karunarathna, Yang Dong, Seigi Karasaki, Saowaluck Tibpromma, Kevin David Hyde, Saisamorn Lumyong, Jianchu Xu, Jun Sheng, Peter Edward Mortimer

“…One of the more alarming findings is that a number of infections related to Neocosmospora, previously associated with human and animal mycotoxicoses, are reported to be increasing, and here we present a new species from this genus, isolated from dead bats. Due to the ecosystem services provided by bats, and the close relationship between bats and humans, future research should focus on the impacts and significance of N. pallidimors to human and animal health, examining its pathogenicity and secondary metabolites. …”
