Several pathogenic fungal organisms enter eukaryotic cells and manipulate the host cell
environment to favor their own growth and survival. Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic …

The internalization of conidia of the opportunistic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus by primary
cell cultures of nonprofessional phagocytes was investigated. This study is the first to show …
