compared to days without thunderstorms (n = 919 days), daily asthma visits increased from 8.6 to 10 (p < 0.05), and air concentrations of fungal spores doubled (from 1,512 to 2,749/m 3), with ...

Although every breath we take contains thousands of fungal spores, these spores do not trigger an immune response. Latgé and colleagues, writing in a recent issue of Nature, show that the surface ...

A special enzyme on the surface of the fungal spores—glycosylasparaginase—apparently suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory substances by immune cells, making it easier for the pathogen to ...

Problem fungi Spore-forming, environmentally ubiquitous molds (e.g., Aspergillus and Rhizopus spp.) that cause opportunistic mucormycoses and disease in humans (immunocompromised and ...
