Its probably related to immune deficiency from rabies.
They aren't dying of an immune deficiency.. and it has nothing to do with rabies.
This syndrome disrupts their hibernation and depletes their fat stores, and they fail to thrive.
They get confused and don't go as deep into caves/mines as they usually do, they sometimes fly out long before it's warm enough, and freeze to death.
They don't know yet if the fungus, found on noses and sometimes wings, are the cause or effect of this.
Rabies is a viral neuropathy - nothing like this and doesn't cause "immune deficiencies".

Maybe they can get in on the bail out.
