“…Three key elements that make up the fungal aerosol hazard are the composition, concentration and particle size of the fungi in the air (9). The main mycotic diseases in broiler production include aspergillosis, candidiasis and Fusarium-induced osteochondrosis (10)(11)(12). Poultry houses were contaminated with high concentrations of fungal aerosols, especially in colder seasons (3).…”

Fungal aerosols in broiler houses are important factors that can harm the health of human beings and broiler. To determine the composite characteristics and changes in fungal aerosols in broiler houses during different broiler growth stages in summer. We analyzed the species, concentration and particle diameter distribution characteristics of the aerosols in poultry houses using an Andersen sampler and internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) high-throughput sequencing technology. The concentration of fungal aerosols in the poultry houses increased as the ages of the broiler increased, which was also accompanied by gradual increases in the variety and diversity indices of the fungal communities in the air of the poultry houses. During the entire broiler growth period, the dominant genera in the fungal aerosols in the poultry houses included Trichosporon, Candida, Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Alternaria. These fungi may be harmful to the health of poultry and human beings, so permanent monitoring of microbial air quality in chicken houses is necessary.

Normal outbred adult Wistar rats were resistant to infection with intratracheally administered viable spores of Aspergillus fumigatus although although they developed a subacute interestitial pneumonia. While the lesions were more severe in animals immune suppressed with Azathioprine (immuran) there was no evidence of hyphal growth in the pulmonary tissue. Significant histological involvement was found only in those animals receiving repeared subcutaneous injections of cortisone and multiple intratracheal injections of spores. Granulomatous lesions were scattered throughout the parenchyma of the lung, and many eroded the walls of adjoining bronchioles permitting entry of the material in the necrotic centre of the granuloma into the lumen of the bronchiole.
