Post COVID-19, there has been renewed interest in understanding the pathogens challenging the human health and evaluate our preparedness towards dealing with health challenges in future. In this endeavour, it is not only the bacteria and the viruses, but a greater community of pathogens. Such pathogenic microorganisms, include protozoa, fungi and worms, which establish a distinct variety of disease-causing agents with the capability to impact the host’s well-being as well as the equity of ecosystem. This review summarises the peculiar characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms utilized by these disease-causing organisms. It features their role in causing infection in the concerned host and emphasizes the need for further research. Understanding the layers of pathogenesis encompassing the concerned infectious microbes will help expand targeted inferences with relation to the cause of the infection. This would strengthen and augment benefit to the host’s health along with the maintenance of ecosystem network, exhibiting host-pathogen interaction cycle. This would be key to discover the layers underlying differential disease severities in response to similar/same pathogen infection.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a multifaceted immune hypersensitivity reaction occurring in the lungs and bronchi, triggered by exposure and colonization of Aspergillus species, commonly Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus). It typically affects individuals who are immunocompetent but predisposed, such as those with bronchial asthma and cystic fibrosis. Diagnosis involves various methods including chest radiography, computed tomography, identification of eosinophilia, elevated serum IgE (immunoglobulin E) levels, and immunological tests for Aspergillus antigen. Left undiagnosed and untreated, ABPA can advance to bronchiectasis and/or pulmonary fibrosis, leading to significant morbidity and mortality.
