Estimating Lung Deposition of Fungal Spores Using Actual Airborne Spore Concentrations and Physiological Data [PDF]

Environmental Science & Technology, 2021
Exposure to bioaerosols has been implicated in adverse respiratory symptoms, infectious diseases, and bioterrorism. Although these particles have been measured within residential and occupational settings in multiple studies, the deposition of bioaerosol particles within the human respiratory system has been only minimally explored.

Airborne Fungal Spore Review, New Advances and Automatisation [PDF]

Atmosphere, 2022
Fungal spores make up a significant portion of Primary Biological Aerosol Particles (PBAPs) with large quantities of such particles noted in the air. Fungal particles are of interest because of their potential to affect the health of both plants and humans.

Global Spore Sampling Project: A global, standardized dataset of airborne fungal DNA [PDF]

Scientific Data
AbstractNovel methods for sampling and characterizing biodiversity hold great promise for re-evaluating patterns of life across the planet. The sampling of airborne spores with a cyclone sampler, and the sequencing of their DNA, have been suggested as an efficient and well-calibrated tool for surveying fungal diversity across various environments.

A Detection Method for Crop Fungal Spores Based on Microfluidic Separation Enrichment and AC Impedance Characteristics

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The timely monitoring of airborne crop fungal spores is important for maintaining food security. In this study, a method based on microfluidic separation and enrichment and AC impedance characteristics was proposed to detect spores of fungal pathogens ...

Comparative Analysis of Fungal Spore Flora Among Birds, Insects and Air in a Temperate Japanese Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Birds, insects and air each host distinct fungal spore communities in a Japanese temperate forest; birds and insects act as selective vectors, while air provides maximal diversity. Our study highlights the importance of analysing multiple taxa to understand ecosystem‐level fungal spore dispersal and interactions.

Airborne fungal spores as a potential hazard for the vineyard workers – a case report from the Carpathian foothills

Acta Agrobotanica, 2023
Fungal spores often cause allergic diseases in people working outdoors, especially in agriculture. In the case of vineyard workers, the threat of mycotoxins is generally considered, and aerobiological monitoring focuses mainly on pathogenic fungi that ...

Analysis of Airborne Fungal Spores in Lima, Perú (2021–2024): Seven Clinically Important Spore Types [PDF]

Atmosphere
Fungal spore calendars help illustrate the abundance and distribution of spores throughout the year, enabling clinicians and patients to predict and treat allergic symptoms based on spore presence and concentration. This three-year study (2021–2024) established the first fungal spore calendar for the most clinically important spore types in Lima, Perú:

Airborne fungal spore monitoring: between analyst proficiency testing

Aerobiologia, 2021
This study presents the results of a Europe-wide training and Quality Control (QC) exercise carried out within the framework of the European Aerobiology Society’s QC Working Group. The main aim of this exercise was to examine the feasibility of carrying out a QC exercise for fungal spore monitoring in Europe, using a similar methodology to the one ...

Outdoor airborne fungal spores in Singapore [PDF]

Grana, 1998
A continuous sampling of airspora in Singapore was carried out over a period of 5 years at 3 different sites. Fungal spores were found to be numerically dominant, comprising between 86.0–89.4% of the total airspora which also consisted of spores of fern and pollen grains. Conidia of Cladosporium were the most abundant fungal spore type, followed by the

Study of the Airborne Fungal Spores in Rosetta, Egypt [PDF]

European Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019
In this study, fungal spores in the atmosphere of Rosetta, Egypt were studied for one year (August 2015 to July 2016) using a Hirst type volumetric pollen trap. An annual spore index equals to 8023 was recorded during the studied period. The maximum records were in August 2015, May and July 2016.
