compared to days without thunderstorms (n = 919 days), daily asthma visits increased from 8.6 to 10 (p < 0.05), and air concentrations of fungal spores doubled (from 1,512 to 2,749/m 3), with ...

This helps the fungus better disperse its spores to reproduce and spread. In the case of the cave spiders, “the sporulating cadavers would be exposed to the air currents circulating through the ...

facilitating the release and dispersal of fungal spores. “Infected spiders exhibit behavioural changes similar to those reported for zombie ants,” scientists write in the study. The fungi ...

Brook, PhD, Richard T. Burnett, PhD In contrast to our findings for fungal spores, we were unable to detect an association between emergency asthma visits and weeds, grasses, or trees. The ...

the lowest concentration that entirely prevented fungal growth was calculated as the MFC. 2.6. Antifungal activity of 2,3-butanedione on spore germination and sporulation capacity 2,3-butanedione ...

Research indicates that a single transgenic fungal spore can be lethal to mosquitoes, significantly reducing the need for high inoculum loads observed with wild-type fungi. Sexual transmission of ...

Such manipulation of the host in order to favour dispersal of the fungal spores engendered the description of 'zombie-ant fungi' and led to the publication of a number of zombie-fungus themed ...

Mycoses often start in the lungs following inhalation of fungal spores or on the skin due to localized colonization. Multidrug resistance in the pathogenic fungus Candida glabrata is a growing ...

Their study, published in Nucleic Acids Research, focused on the mold fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, which can cause life-threatening infections, especially in immunocompromised people. Identifying ...

With new armor options being dropped via Warbonds, it can be difficult to keep track of the best armor in Helldivers 2. If you’re looking to improve your odds of survival, you’re going to need ...
