[8] The term describes several disease presentations with considerable overlap, ranging from an aspergilloma [12] —a clump of Aspergillus mold in the lungs—through to a subacute, invasive form known as chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis ...

Aspergillosis of the air passages is also frequently reported in birds, and certain species of Aspergillus have been known to infect insects. [10] Most people inhale Aspergillus into their lungs everyday, [35] but generally only the immuno-compromised become sick with aspergillosis. [35]
Now 65, Fairweather was diagnosed with aspergillosis, a disease caused by the common mold Aspergillus, in her 20s. The illness can result from an allergic reaction or an infection in the lungs.
Aspergillus penicillioides is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus, and is among the most xerophilic fungi. [1]Aspergillus penicillioides is typically found in indoor air, house dust, and on substrates with low water activity, such as dried food, papers affected by foxing, and inorganic objects such as binocular lenses.

Aspergillus candidus has been associated with a variety of diseases such as hypersensitivity diseases, and infectious diseases including aspergillosis, otomycosis, and onychomycosis. [2] [11] The dry conidia produced by A. candidus are easily dispersed in air, [9] leading to inhalation by humans and animals. [12]
