disruption, aerosolized conidia inhaled into the lungs of a mamma-lian host (37 C) convert into pathogenic yeast to cause pneumonia (Gauthier and Klein, 2008; Schwarz and Baum, 1951). Once pul-monary infection is established, these pathogens can disseminate to almost any organ in the body including the brain, skin, and bone (Gauthier et al., 2007). ................
