were not recruited to combatant the pathogen. Further observations revealed hibernation doesn’t prevent inflammatory responses as a result of Pseudogymnoascus destructans, but the employment of white blood cells does not occur. The innate immune response observed would be expected to carry out a Th17 directed adaptive immune response that could possibly clear the infection, but due to energetic limits during hibernation, these adaptive immune responses could not be carried out. Many…

enormous saves a source of energy and water. Deep torpor is a comatose condition where voluntary motor functions are greatly reduced. Some mammals can come out of torpor using heat production from their brown fat. Hibernate is similar to torpor but hibernation is a long period of time during the winter, but instead of both birds and mammals using it, only mammals hibernate. Mainly only large animals…
