Fungal infection articles from across Nature Portfolio Atom RSS Feed Fungal infection, also known as a mycosis, refers to the invasion of a host's tissue by specific types of fungi. Mycoses often start in the lungs following inhalation of fungal spores or on the skin due to localized ...
When exposed aphids succumb to the infection, they turn into cadavers. Cadavers of wingedS. avenaeproduce fewer conidia than those of the unwinged morph (Hemmati et al.2001a). We expect nymphs to produce fewer conidia than adults due to the size difference. Hence, we enumerated the cadaver ...
Anti-fungal infection continued for 4 months after discharge home. On the 4th month of follow-up, Chest CT revealed no progression of lung lesions. Conclusions The corticosteroids are the first-line therapy of IgG4-RD and a rapid response helps to confirm the diagnosis. This case should ...
C. neoformans can stay hidden in the body and cause infection later when the immune system becomes too weak to fight it off. C. gattii Infection Tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world;usually on trees, in tree hollows, and in the soil around trees. —— Histoplasmosis Most are foun...

Ovothiol A is thought to play a role in cellular redox homeostasis in the fertilization of sea urchin eggs46, during infection by Leishmania sp., Trypanosoma sp.47,48 and it also induced autophagy in the human hepatic cancer cell line Hep-G242. In vitro studies revealed a potent ...
brunneum may lead to increased infection rates in adult fly populations. The transmission of conidia between adult flies has been observed before and it is known that adult flies are susceptible to dry spores of M. anisopliae [56]. In the experiment where M. brunneum was given the opportunity...
The aerosolized spores can become inhaled by mammals, which lead to a temperature-dependant transformation in mammalian tissue to yeast-like cells. The suitable environmental conditions to support the mould phases are required for the risk of autochthonous infection, although the precise environmental ...
Fungal allergens, which can cause rhinitis and asthma, but rarely cause infection, include spores from the plant pathogens Cladosporium and Alternaria spp. A third potential cause of ill-health from fungi are vola- tile organic compounds and mycotoxins released by moulds such as Stachybotrys spp, ...
Mildew infection of a cactus is more likely for plants grown out of their native (dry) environment, and when the cacti are kept close to other mildew-infected plants. Our photo above shows what mildew spores look like under the microscope. ...
