The incidence of invasive fungal infections has risen dramatically in recent decades, with Aspergillus fumigatus being the most common cause of invasive mould disease in humans. This infection, termed invasive aspergillosis (IA), occurs when the conidia of A. fumigatus enter the lower airways of the human lung and germinate to form filamentous hyphae that invade lung tissues. IA occurs primarily in immunocompromised individuals and is associated with mortality rates of 30 to 95%, despite antifungal therapy. There exists an inverse relationship between conidiation and vegetative growth in A. fumigatus, where conidiation is rarely observed during an invasive infection of the human host, permitting the bulk of the fungal metabolic energy to re...
