New climate change studies show that as temperatures are rising, killer bacteria are set to spread to new parts of Europe.
Aspergillus is a type of mold that can cause lung and breathing problems if infected in humans, and can infect millions of people a year as temperatures spread to Europe, Asia and the northerner countries of America due to rising temperatures. Studies have shown.
Norman Vanlysin, a Welcome Trust Research Fellow at the University of Manchester who co-authored the study, said the world is approaching a turning point regarding the rise of fungal pathogens that thrive in a wide variety of environments, including internal homes.
Fungal infections contribute to the deaths of millions of people worldwide each year, Rhijn said.
Aspergillosis is a lung disease caused by Aspergillus spores that can spread to other human organs, and is one such disease.
I’ll talk to you ftVan Lizin said: “We’re talking about continental changes in the lives and species distribution of hundreds of thousands. In 50 years, things will grow and what will become infected will be completely different.”
Aspergillus can have a positive advantage and is used in industrial and food production, such as fermenting soy sauce and liquor.
Inhaling that spores does not make everyone sick, but fatal fungi can be particularly threatening to those with conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, or weak immune system.
However, fungal studies show that Aspergillus fumigatus could have spread to another 77% of the territory by 2100, exposing 9 million Europeans to the infection as a result of the massive use of fossil fuels around the world. ft.
This species can grow rapidly at high temperatures of compost and explains why it thrives at an internal temperature of 37°C in the human body.
“That lifestyle in the natural environment may have provided Aspergillus fumigatus with the fitness benefits needed to colonize human lungs,” said Professor Elaine Bignell, co-director of the MRC Department of Medical Sciences at the University of Exeter.
Another species, Aspergillus flavus, lives in crops and could spread to 16% of the territory of northern China, Russia, Scandinavia and Alaska by 2100, the researchers added. African countries and several existing regions in Brazil could also be difficult to live in. This can damage local ecosystems.
