The role of wood shavings in the spread of Aspergillus section Fumigati: from carpentry environments to zoonosis risks in poultry farms
| Resumo: | Wood dust is not solely an occupational hazard for carpenters, since this material is commonly used as bedding for the poultry industry. Wood shavings are among the various contaminants affecting poultry production and may be a reservoir of pathogens. Thus, wood-based litter might contribute to a potential risk of zoonosis. Aspergillus section Fumigati is included in the fungal priority pathogens list published by the World Health Organization and has already been detected in woodworking environments. This study aims to perform a contamination assessment of Aspergillus section Fumigati in both carpentries and poultries. |
