A Six-Year Airborne Fungal Spore Calendar for a City in the Sonoran Desert, Mexico: Implications for Human Health [PDF]
Journal of FungiFungal spore calendars for Mexico are non-existent. This research represents the first fungal spore concentration data in the atmosphere of Hermosillo, Mexico, a city in the Sonoran Desert with high rates of allergies and public health problems.

Study of kinetic model for fungal spore germination under dynamic conditions: Case study on germination of Penicillium expansum spores [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 The germination of fungal spores under non-isothermal conditions has been studied for several years, however, no mathematical model has been able to describe them suitably.

Seasonality in antarctic airborne fungal spores [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1997 Airborne fungal spores were monitored over periods of up to 131/2 months at three sites on Signy Island in the maritime Antarctic. Fungal spore concentrations in the air were much lower than in other parts of the world. Concentrations were very low during the austral winter but increased during the austral summer.

Fungal Spore Seasons Advanced Across the US Over Two Decades of Climate Change [PDF]
GeoHealthPhenological shifts due to climate change have been extensively studied in plants and animals. Yet, the responses of fungal spores—organisms important to ecosystems and major airborne allergens—remain understudied.

Comparison of microscopic and metagenomic approaches to identify cereal pathogens and track fungal spore release in the field [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Wheat is one of the main staple food crops, and 775 million tonnes of wheat were produced worldwide in 2022. Fungal diseases such as Fusarium head blight, Septoria tritici blotch, spot blotch, tan spot, stripe rust, leaf rust, and powdery mildew cause ...

Germination of Resting Fungal Spores [PDF]
Nature, 1935 I HAVE read with interest Mr. Robert McKay's letter1 on the germination of oospores of Peronospora Schleideni. He notes the remarkably persistent oogonial wall, which “forms an additional protective layer” around the oospore, and the still more persistent oospore wall.

Fungal spores: hazardous to health? [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1999 Fungi have long been known to affect human well being in various ways, including disease of essential crop plants, decay of stored foods with possible concomitant production of mycotoxins, superficial and systemic infection of human tissues, and disease associated with immune stimulation such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis and toxic pneumonitis.

A fungal spore calendar for the atmosphere of Szczecin, Poland
Acta Agrobotanica, 2016 A calendar of fungal spore seasons for Szczecin during 2013 was established using a 7-day volumetric Lanzoni trap. Thirty-five spore taxa were identified. The dominant spore types detected were Cladosporium (66%), Didymella (29%), Alternaria (1.67%), and

Impacts of stress and aging on spore health in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumMost fungi can produce dormant, long-lived cells known as spores (e.g., conidia and ascospores). Spores play a critical role in fungal biology and human health, but much about spores is unknown.

First Long-Time Airborne Fungal Spores Study in Dublin, Ireland (1978–1980)
Atmosphere, 2022 Ambient fungal spores within the atmosphere can contribute to a range of negative human, animal and plant health conditions and diseases. However, trends in fungal spore seasonality, species prevalence, and geographical origin have been significantly ...
