Discovery of a sexual cycle in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus.

Nature - 22 Jan 2009

O'Gorman Céline M, Fuller Hubert T, Dyer Paul S

Abstract excerpt

Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprotrophic fungus whose spores are ubiquitous in the atmosphere. It is also an opportunistic human pathogen in immunocompromised individuals, causing potentially lethal invasive infections, and is associated with severe asthma and sinusitis. The species is only known to reproduce by asexual means, but there has been accumulating evidence for recombination and gene flow from population...
