Abstract (English)	More than 10 million people are at risk of Invasive Aspergillosis and over 50% of affected patients die. Current tests are time consuming, exhibit poor specificity and are expensive. This project aims at developing a new rapid test for Aspergillus invasive infections with improved performance.
