Prevalence of culturable airborne spores of selected allergenic and pathogenic fungi in outdoor air
TLDR
Temporal and spatial variations in airborne spore concentrations of selected allergenic and pathogenic fungi were examined in Dublin, Ireland, in 2005, and positive correlations between temperature and Cladosporium and relative humidity and Penicillium and Aspergillus were revealed.About:

Discovery of a sexual cycle in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus
TL;DR: It is shown that A. fumigatus possesses a fully functional sexual reproductive cycle that leads to the production of cleistothecia and ascospores, and the teleomorph Neosartorya fumgata is described, and increased genotypic variation resulting from recombination between mating type and DNA fingerprint markers in ascospore progeny from an Irish environmental subpopulation is demonstrated

Fungi in the healthy human gastrointestinal tract.
TL;DR: The gut mycobiome appears less stable than the bacterial microbiome, and is likely subject to environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urbanization and the gut microbiota in health and inflammatory bowel disease.
TL;DR: The disparate patterns of the gut microbiota composition in rural and urban areas offer an opportunity to understand the contribution of a ‘rural microbiome’ in potentially protecting against the development of IBD.

Bioaerosols from composting facilities--a review.
TL;DR: Current knowledge of microbial diversity in composting aerosols and of the associated risks to health are summarized and methodologies introduced recently to enhance understanding of bioaerosol dispersal are considered, including new molecular indicators and modeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungi and the urban environment: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the role of fungi in urban ecosystems is presented, highlighting the potential for fungal conservation in cities if their ecology can be understood and communicated to land managers.

Aspergillosis case-fatality rate: systematic review of the literature.
TL;DR: Mortality is high despite improvements in diagnosis and despite the advent of newer formulations of amphotericin B, and underlying patient conditions and the site of infection remain important prognostic factors.
