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.

Temporal shifts in alternaria spore seasons increase the risk of allergy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAlternaria is an allergenic fungus that releases airborne spores, causing allergy and asthma in humans. The fungal spore contains twelve 11–58 kDa allergens. The allergy threshold level of airborne Alternaria spores is 100/m3.
