Abstract
Open AccessWe present the genome sequences of four Aspergillus fumigatus strains isolated from infected wildfowl collected from Wildlife Rehabilitation Centers in Southern Ontario, Canada. Phenotypic and phylogenetic assessment confirmed infection with A. fumigatus, suggesting a correlation between fungal infection and wildfowl mortality.
