VTC News BotCảnh báo sức khoẻ: Một người đàn ông 45 tuổi bị sốt cao không dứt và suy hô hấp sau khi mắc cúm A. Nguyên nhân được phát hiện là do nhiễm nấm Aspergillus xâm lấn phổi, một biến chứng cực kỳ nguy hiểm.
Hãy cẩn trọng và đi khám ngay nếu các triệu chứng sốt kéo dài bất thường sau khi đã khỏi cúm.

Vanda Lerer, PhDWhat if the best crop protectors aren’t chemicals — but the viruses living inside fungi?
In this video, we explore how mycoviruses could become powerful, self-spreading tools for sustainable agriculture — reshaping plant health from the inside out.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) Pathophysiology: Catalase-Positive Infections Explained
Master the key features of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) with this interactive drag-and-drop exercise. Learn why NADPH oxidase defects increase susceptibility to catalase-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and not Streptococcus. Ideal for USMLE Step 1 prep and clinical understanding.
Nina PescatoreIk ken de naam heel goed. Aspergillus Fumigatus. Mijn moeder is er aan overleden. Als de medicatie niet had gewerkt was dat op mijn 12de geweest in plaats van op mijn 22ste.
Azolen (voor bestrijding van schimmels) worden ook kwistig gebruikt in de bollensector. Daarbij wordt het aan de sector zelf overgelaten hoe ze omgaan met het met azolen doordrenkte bollen afval. Voor opslag en afvoer zijn immers strenge regels waar men zich aan moet houden. Dus.
What could possibly go wrong. 🤦🏼♀️

Hidden inside every growing hypha lies a microscopic powerhouse — the #Spitzenkörper.
It’s not just a blob at the fungal tip — it’s the traffic controller, architect, and GPS of fungal growth. 🍄
This video will uncover how this mysterious vesicle cluster orchestrates the very architecture of life beneath our feet.

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Aflatoxin Producing Strains of Aspergillus spp. in Groundnut from India - Cytology and Genetics
Abstract The production of aflatoxin, a well-known mycotoxin, is primarily attributed to two distinct Emericella species and various Aspergillus species. Because of these mycotoxin high acute toxicity, immunosuppressive, mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic properties, aflatoxin poisoning has resulted in significant financial losses in the production of corn, cottonseed, groundnuts, sorghum, wheat, rice, and other commodities. Accordingly, the proposed study aims to characterize aflatoxin producing strains from various groundnut samples using morphological and molecular methods. A total of 11 isolates were found from an infected groundnut seed sample; qualitative analysis revealed that six of these samples were aflatoxin producing Aspergillus strains. Nevertheless, four samples were identified as producing aflatoxin by molecular detection using a gene specific primer involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis. These samples were collected from the districts of Dhule, Ahmednagar, Dapoli, and Latur in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The molecular method confirmed the highest level of accuracy when compared to other methods of detection; therefore, precise and unambiguous identification of aflatoxin producing Aspergillus spp. will be crucial for the development of control strategies for the fungus in groundnuts and groundnut products that are extensively consumed in India.

It’s been quite a journey: from stepping into an empty lab as the very first student, to the thrill of discovering and developing the method to extract the very first mycovirus in that lab, to countless long days and nights of exhausting experiments 🍄🍄🍄
