| Disease Introduction Mechanism | Aspergillosis is a fungal airborne infection due to saprophytic ubiquitous molds that belong to Aspergillus genus. It is responsible for several distinct respiratory diseases in both animals and humans. For example, aspergillosis is subacute or chronic in penguins under human care in zoos, and its incidence was estimated to 20.2% in a rehabilitation center in Brazil. In such birds, it implies adaptive immunity and develops progressively at the inner surface of air sacs. In humans, the invasive form is rather encountered during severe neutropenia and is more acute; its incidence raised to 5% after intensive chemotherapy or allogenic hematopoi- etic stem-cell transplantation. Invasive aspergillosis causes high morbidity, and mortality rates have been estimated as 30–70%, depending on the underlying medical conditions, the site of infection and the degree of dissemination. The Aspergillusspecies of the Fumigati section are those which have been primarily isolated from most of the human and animal clini- cal specimens. Species belonging to Flavi, Nigrior Terrei sections have been less frequently cul- tured. |
