Description
Phagocytosis of a fungus spore. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a neutrophil (green) phagocytosing (engulfing and destroying) spores from the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (yellow). Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cell and are part of the body's immune system. Aspergillus fumigatus is common in dust, soil, and on plants and plant products such as hay or grain. It can cause a number of different diseases in humans, including allergic disorder, respiratory infection and invasive disease.
