You might try searching this page
http://www.aspergillus.man.ac.uk/indexhome.htm?secure/speciesdatabase/./index.php~main

There are several links to almost all the Aspergillus species. I
reviewed them all and think none of them fit. Surely the word you are
seeking is the species name of an Aspergillus, as you are discussing
antigen antiboy reactions.

Regards,
crabcakes

Hi, Crabcakes:

You were correct... the right word was "fumigatus."  The questioner
apologized for "slurring" the terms together and indicated it was
"fumigatus" he was trying to say.

Thanks again for your help!
