In Washington D.C., researchers are studying how white-nose syndrome is affecting the area’s nine species (种) of bats. Some scientists are catching bats on an island in the middle of the Anacostia River to test them for the disease. The group is receiving money to help carry out their studies. Marco Carvello is with the Washington D.C. Government’s Department of Energy and Environment. “Scientists are concerned that the disease is continuing to greatly reduce the bat population. The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats, there is an increase in the number of many insects. And that’s only going to get worse over time if some ways can’t be found,” he said.

A. The disease has led to people’s strange behavior.
B. The disease may cause the disappearance of all the bats.
C. The government should control the spread of the disease.
