Li, G.H. A. fumigatus neither infects plants nor is of any industrial value, instead it is a human pathogen that infects human lungs causing both invasive and noninvasive human aspergillosis, especially to those who are immunocompromised patients and can be fatal (Rankin 1953; Denning 1998). permission provided that the original article is clearly cited.
