DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-49284-w
Abstract: Among opportunistically pathogenic filamentous fungi of the Aspergillus genus, Aspergillus fumigatus stands out as a drastically more prevalent cause of infection than others. Utilizing the zebrafish embryo model, we applied a combination of non-invasive real-time… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/21505594.2023.2172264
Abstract: Pulmonary infections caused by the mould pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus are a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Compromised lung defences arising from immunosuppression, chronic respiratory conditions or more recently, concomitant viral or bacterial pulmonary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myac031
Abstract: Abstract Although a high prevalence of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis has been reported, it is still difficult to distinguish between colonization with Aspergillus fumigatus and infection. Concomitantly, similarities between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jcm.02046-21
Abstract: The answer is Aspergillus fumigatus periorbital mass. Upon review of the histopathology, Aspergillus and Fusarium were considered the most likely possible diagnoses. Due to variable susceptibility of Fusarium to azoles, empirical liposomal amphotericin (i.v., 5… read more here.
