Resumo(s)
Poultry farms are conducive environments for Aspergillus fumigatus. Aspergillus fumigatus is a major pathogen and the main causative agent of respiratory diseases. A. section Fumigati species can grow at human body temperature, a key indicator of pathogenic potential. The occurrence of thermotolerant Aspergillus section Fumigati in poultry farms remains poorly explored. Workers’ awareness of fungal hazards is poorly characterized. This study aims to assess both thermotolerant Aspergillus section Fumigati prevalence and worker awareness of microbial risks in poultry farming.
