Aspergillosis can infect the embryos inside of egg shells.?

Yes, aspergillosis, caused by the fungus Aspergillus, can infect the embryos within eggs. This can occur when spores contaminate the eggshell or the environment where the eggs are stored, leading to potential devastating effects on embryo development. Infected embryos may fail to develop properly or die before hatching, posing a significant risk to poultry and other egg-laying species. Proper hygiene and storage conditions are essential to mitigate the risk of aspergillosis in eggs.
