As the impact of climate change continues and the global temperature increases, the ‘killer’ mold is expected to expand. According to a study conducted at Manchester University, researchers warned of the rapid spread of Aspergillus.
The Manchester University Research, which is currently being reviewed, predicts how climate change and hot climate can accelerate the spread of mold of the Aster Gill Ruth. Potentially, the rapid spread of killer mold can also be seen on TV shows. Our last
Aspergillus, classified as a common fungal group, can cause human beings a life -threatening disease and can cause severe infections in livestock and plants.
What does research mean?
According to Manchester University Research, The increase in climate change and global temperature will change the environment and cause the spread of many fungal pathogens.
The researchers added that as the climate crisis is strengthened, certain ASPERGILLUS species will be extended to new regions in North America and North Asian countries such as China, Europe and China and Russia.
“Mold is relatively underestimated compared to viruses and parasites, but Ijido shows that mold pathogens may affect most of the future. News.com.au.
Aspergillus, like all fungi, releases a lot of small sports every day through air. Humans inhale this spore, but due to the immune system, this spor does not cause health problems.
However, people with abandoned people such as asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis, and those who have the immune system damaged by covid-19 or cancer may have serious health problems.
Aspergillus is also responsible for causing aspergillosis with a 20-40 % mortality rate.
According to Van Rijn, if the immune system does not remove this spores, the mold grows in the body and “you can eat you inside.”
A hot climate that causes spread
This study focuses on three pathogenic species of mold under other climatic conditions -A. Fumigates, A. Flavus and A. NIGER
As the impact on public health and antifungal resistance, aspergillus Flavus, added to WHO’s “Important Mold Pathogen Group” in 2022, tends to prefer hotter climate. If the fossil fuel combustion continues, the pathogen can spread 16 %, the study added.
A. Fumigatus, found in more mild climate, is expected to spread north and hit Europe.
Moreover, the A. Nigrdo area, found in hot areas such as Sambhila, Southern Africa, Australia, and Southern Asia, is expected to be very hot, so it is not suitable for mold groups. But this can seriously affect the ecosystem.
TV show plot to become a reality?
In HBO Our lastThis story focused on the world after the apocalypticity after the mold of the brain erased most of the society.
The show is already used to the danger of infectious mutations.
But speaking Sky NewsThe show is set in a virtual world, but Dr. Van Rhijn says, “The reality is already scary.”
Fungal infections are associated with 2.5 million deaths worldwide every year. In addition, if the immune system does not fight spores, ASPERGILLUS can cause invasive Asteril, which can already kill 1.8 million worldwide.
