White nose syndrome caused by fungus

http://www.livescience.com/16738-fungus-killing-bats-study-proves.html

This posting comes a little late, but in October a study found that the disease responsible for millions of bat deaths is caused by a fungus, and a fungus alone.

This was named one of the top ten wildlife news stories of 2011, also of note is that congress recently approved $4 million dollars towards white nose syndrome research.
