A "very dangerous" fungus that makes millions of people ill each year has been found in a remote part of the Earth - and it's sparked fears of a new pandemic.
Samples of Aspergillus fumigatus were taken from the Three Parallel Rivers region in Yunnan, China, seven per cent of which was found to be resistant to drugs, a new study has found.
It is a common type of fungus but in this remote mountainous area thousands of metres above sea level, it has evolved into a strain that medication is ineffective at treating.
