Author(s): Ciamak Ghazaei

Infections are at the increase all over the world. Bearing in mind that these infections do occur in both human and animals and infections are at the increase all over the world. So, it calls for the provision of better means of preventing if not cutting down the number of people that are infected in the various parts of the body. Therefore, before setting foot on these fields and seeking solutions to the infections, one needs to know the causes, the conditions and the affected areas. In this topic, the emphasis inclines to the causes of infections of aspergillosis and the conditions under which they affect the humans and animals. Aspergillosis is a disease that is associated with human and animals beings and its proponent is the Aspergillus fungi. The disease is a respiratory tract infection that ismore specifically caused by the Aspergillus fumigatus species.This species is described to be in the form of spores and does reproduce through asexual means. Due to its high affinity for water, it is dispersed in a very fastmanner when in the air. Therefore, in this paper, the causative agent (Aspergillus fumigatus) of aspergillosis; a disease or infection that attacks the human respiratory system and the disease itself is the area of focus.
