Exposure of Aspergillus fumigatus to T-2 toxin results in a stress response associated with exacerbation of aspergillosis in poultry

In conclusion, A. fumigatus is capable of surviving and growing on substrates containing levels of T-2 up to 1000 ng/ml. Growth in presence of T-2 induces a stress response in A. fumigatus, which is associated with exacerbation of aspergillosis in vivo.
