Aspergillus niger is a mold classified within the Nigri section of the Aspergillus genus. [1] The Aspergillus genus consists of common molds found throughout the environment within soil and water, on vegetation, in fecal matter, on decomposing matter, and suspended in the air. [ 2 ]
In addition to growth on carbon sources, many species of Aspergillus demonstrate oligotrophy where they are capable of growing in nutrient-depleted environments, or environments with a complete lack of key nutrients. Aspergillus niger is a prime example of this; it can be found growing on damp walls, as a major component of mildew. [citation ...
In dogs, aspergillosis is an uncommon disease typically affecting only the nasal passages (nasal aspergillosis). This is much more common in dolicocephalic breeds . It can also spread to the rest of the body; this is termed disseminated aspergillosis and is rare, usually affecting individuals with underlying immune disorders.
Aspergillus terreus can cause infection in animals, but it is contained to a few species, such as dogs and cattle. Widely, A. terreus is found to cause mycotic abortion in cattle. [9] [10] [17] In dogs, especially in the German Shepherd breed, this fungus is also responsible for sinusitis. [17] It can further affect dogs through its dissemination.
Aspergillus candidus (also called A. triticus, A. albus, and A. okazakii) is a white-spored species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. [1] Despite its lack of pigmentation, it is closely related to the most darkly-pigmented aspergilli in the Aspergillus niger group. [ 1 ]
Skin conditions in dogs are very common, so it's important to recognize the symptoms and understand the factors that cause them. Dr. Rebecca MacMillan, a vet with over 15 years of experience, says ...

Aspergillus tubingensis is a darkly pigmented species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus section Nigri. [1] [2] It is often confused with Aspergillus niger due to their similar morphology and habitat. [1] A. tubingensis is often involved in food spoilage of fruits and wheat, and industrial fermentation. This species is a rare agent of ...
