Hypersensitivity pneumonitis of a bagpipe player: Fungal antigens as trigger?

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2019
Here we present a 79-year old man with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis probably caused by fungal contamination of a bagpipe. Several samples were taken from the patient's bagpipe.

Discriminating antigen and non-antigen using proteome dissimilarity II:viral and fungal antigens [PDF]

, 2010
Immunogenicity arises via many synergistic mechanisms, yet the overall dissimilarity of pathogenic proteins versus the host proteome has been proposed as a key arbiter.

Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology [PDF]

, 2009
An important mechanism for insect pest control should be the use of fungal entomopathogens. Even though these organisms have been studied for more than 100 y, their effective use in the field remains elusive.

Use of Urine Antigen Testing for Blastomyces in an Integrated Health System

Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews, 2018
Purpose: Blastomycosis, an endemic fungal infection, mimics many other diseases. We explored the use of Blastomyces urine antigen (BuAg), reportedly the most sensitive noninvasive test, in clinical practice and compared it to other noninvasive tests ...

Host genotype shapes the foliar fungal microbiome of balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) [PDF]

, 2013
Foliar fungal communities of plants are diverse and ubiquitous. In grasses endophytes may increase host fitness; in trees, their ecological roles are poorly understood.
