The rapid spread of Aspergillus fumigatus, a deadly fungus that invades human tissue, particularly affects vulnerable populations in the US. As temperatures rise and urban areas expand, especially in states like Florida, Texas, and California, infections from the airborne spores have become a serious health risk. With no official tracking of the disease, the extent of aspergillosis is largely unknown. Experts believe infections could drastically increase in the next decades due to climate change, further complicating public health responses and threats to immunocompromised individuals.
A lethal fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus, is rapidly spreading across the US, posing severe health risks, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems.
Aspergillosis, caused by inhaling fungal spores, can lead to significant organ failure and has become increasingly prevalent in hot, humid areas.
Experts warn that climate change could exacerbate outbreaks, resulting in major public health challenges and altering species distributions in the near future.
The lack of tracking for aspergillosis cases in the US complicates the understanding of its impact and the urgency to implement effective prevention strategies.
