The Role of Serum Ficolins in the Innate Immune Response to Aspergillus species.
Abstract Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is capable of causing the devastating disease invasive aspergillosis (IA) in immunocompromised patients following the inhalation of airborne conidia. IA is associated with a mortality rate of up to 90% and is notoriously …

The Roles of a Conserved MAP Kinase Pathway in the Regulation of Development and Secondary Metabolism in Aspergillus Species
… MAPK pathways have been studied in fungal species such as the model ascomycete Neurospora crassa. In this species, the pheromone module pathway has been shown to be involved in the regulation of germling and hyphal fusion, which is critical for the establishment of the interconnected fungal …

Κλινική και ανοσολογική μελέτη της πνευμονικής ασπεργιλλώσεως από τον ασπέργιλλο fumigatus
… is thought to be specific for aspergillosis from aspergillus fumigatus. Its contribution is great, because it establishes the diagnosis with certainty in suspected cases and it detects patients with unclassified forms who have insufficient clinical and laboratory findings. If this method is …

Developing novel drug combinations for treatment of invasive fungal infections
Several Fungal species have the potential to cause a broad spectrum of diseases in humans, ranging from mild superficial to disseminated invasive infections that involve the bloodstream and vital organs. Invasive fungal infections are severe, life-threatening diseases that result in the deaths of …

Molecular and bio-analytical characterisation as a means to understand genetic diversity within Kenyan Aspergillus flavus strains
Toxigenic Aspergillus species produce mycotoxins that are carcinogenic, hepatotoxic and teratogenic immunosuppressing agents in both human and animals. Kenya frequently experiences outbreaks of aflatoxicosis with the worst occurring in 2004, which resulted in 125 deaths. This study sought to find …

Mid-Infrared Spectral Characterization of Aflatoxin Contamination in Peanuts
… identifications were 16% and 0%, respectively. Aspergillus species of section Flavi and the black fungi, A. niger are the most common colonists of peanuts in nature and the majority of the aflatoxin producing strains are from section Flavi. Seed colonization by selected Aspergillus spp. was …

Facultative mutualism between the navel orangeworm Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Aspergillus flavus
… association with the highly toxigenic fungus Aspergillus flavus Link. Despite the capacity of this fungus-insect association to damage a wide variety of tree crops, relatively little is known about the ecology of the interaction. I examined three aspects of this association to examine the …
