 Grains and legumes colonized by "A. carneus" are toxic to ducklings.Additionally, wild type mice injected with "A. carneus" conidia (105) develop cerebral aspergillosis and ataxia after 2–10 days.Inoculation with corticosterone (10 mg) decreases the threshold for neurological symptoms to appear (to 104 conidia), indicating that immune suppression may increase vulnerability to "A. carneus" infection"."
