Best Answer

yes,they can spread it from bat to bat.

+++ That appears to be the primary route for the infection. It has been reported in Germany but with nothing like the mortality of the infection in the US, suggesting either the European bats have some immunity to the fungus. or it's a milder form of the fungus.
