Sub-Telomere Directed Gene Expression during Initiation of Invasive Aspergillosis
11 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Aspergillus fumigatus is a common mould whose spores are a component of the normal airborne flora. Immune dysfunction permits developmental growth of inhaled spores in the human lung causing aspergillosis, a significant threat to human health in the form of allergic, and life-threatening invasive infections.
