Aspergillus fumigatus, the causal agent of aspergillosis in humans, is commonly present as a saprophyte in various organic substrates, such as spoiled silages. Aspergillosis is generally combated with demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides, but the recent appearance of resistant medical and ...
Aspergillus fumigatusis the most frequent cause of fungal lung disease in humans. The spectrum of aspergillus airways disease ranges from allergic asthma characterised by an IgE-mediated immune response, to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, where additionally there is airway fungal colonisation and an...
Aspergillus fumigatusis the species most frequently associated withinvasive aspergillosisand is the most common agent of airbornemycosesin humans.34Any role for conidium-associated ergot alkaloids in human disease has not yet been investigated. Such studies should be facilitated by comparisons of wild-typ...
fumigatus. To know whether the molecules involved are specific to A. fumigatus or simply produced more rapidly than by other filamentous fungi warrants further investigation. In this perspective, the primary culture of HNEC represents a suitable model to study the interactions between airway epithelial...
SummaryAspergillus fumigatus is currently the major air-borne fungal pathogen. It is able to cause several forms of disease in humans of which invasive aspergillosis is the most severe. The high mortality rate of this disease prompts increased efforts to disclose the basic principles of A. fumigatu...

Infections caused by the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus are increasingly resistant to first-line azole antifungal drugs. However, despite its clinical importance, little is known about how susceptible patients acquire infection from drug-resistant

fumigatus, F-actin in this strain binds phalloidin, and pharmacological stabilization of these actin structures with jasplakinolide inhibits germination and alters morphogenesis in a dose-dependent manner. We also show that human -actin cannot support Aspergillus viability, even though the amino acid ...
In the recent years, Aspergillus fumigatus has become the most prevalent airborne human fungal pathogen. Although A. fumigatus is a saprophyte that naturally develops in the soil, it is responsible for life-threatening diseases in cancer patients and org
