Warning Issued As Killer Fungus Is Forecast to Spread To The UK

A killer fungus is spreading through Europe and may contribute to millions of deaths worldwide thanks to recent heatwaves.

Is this yet more BS or is it something that’s being sprayed from above?

Researchers at The University of Manchester warn that the risk of a deadly fungal infection in Europe has increased… and according to their new study climate change is a significant factor.

The whole scenario is remarkably similar to the theme of a hit TV series called The last of Us which saw society collapse after a zombie virus spread across humans.

MSN reports: The study found that the aspergillus species – which can cause fatal human brain infections, destroy livestock and make crops unsafe to eat – is forecast to spread through Europe into the UK.

Fungal infections are transmitted via fungal spores in the air we breathe. They are usually resolved with antifungal treatment, but people with weakened immune systems are at particular risk of serious harm.

What is the new fungal threat and how worried should we be?

What did the study find?

The study found that if we are more reliant on fossil fuels than clean power, it’s likely that there will be a significant spread of three fungal pathogens: Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus niger. (Aspergillus is a common mold that can cause an infection called Aspergillosis when inhaled.)

“Changes in environmental factors, such as humidity and extreme weather events, will change habitats and drive fungal adaptation and spread,” said Dr. Norman van Rhijn, research fellow in microbial evolution and lead author of the study.

The Aspergillus species is forecast to spread from Africa and South America into Europe and Asia.

“We’ve already seen the emergence of the fungus Candida auris due to rising temperatures, but, until now, we had little information of how other fungi might respond to this change in the environment.

Fungi are relatively under researched compared to viruses and parasites, but these maps show that fungal pathogens will likely impact most areas of the world in the future.”

Invasive fungal infections are not new. There are more than 200 fungal species known to cause disease in humans, causing an estimated 2.5 million deaths every year.

However, the study found that Aspergillus flavus, a common soil fungus, could increase by approximately 16 per cent, leaving 1 million more people in Europe at risk of infection.

Aspergillus flavus infections impact the respiratory system and can infect a variety of crops. It is resistant to many antifungals available.

Aspergillus fumigatus, one of the most common fungal pathogens, could increase by 77.5 per cent, causing 9 million people in Europe to be exposed.

The treatment-resistant pathogen affects the lungs and is responsible for life-threatening infections in humans. People infected with it are “33 per cent more likely to die,” according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
