Monitoring of fungal spores in the indoor air of preschool institution facilities in Novi Sad [PDF]

Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke, 2013
Fungal spores can cause a range of health problems in humans such as respiratory diseases and mycotoxicoses. Since children are the most vulnerable, the presence of fungal spores in the facilities of preschool and school institutions should be ...

Transcriptional analysis of temporal gene expression in germinating Clostridium difficile 630 endospores. [PDF]

, 2013
Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital acquired diarrhoea in industrialised countries. Under conditions that are not favourable for growth, the pathogen produces metabolically dormant endospores via asymmetric cell division.

Long-Distance Wind-Dispersal of Spores in a Fungal Plant Pathogen: Estimation of Anisotropic Dispersal Kernels from an Extensive Field Experiment [PDF]

, 2014
Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (i.e., the distribution of dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field experiments designed to measure disease gradients caused by sexually-

Diurnal variations of airborne fungal spores concentration in the town and rural area

Acta Agrobotanica, 2012
Airborne fungal spores were monitored in 2001-2002 in Rzeszów (town) and its neighborhood. The aim of investigations was to ascertain if there were differences in diurnal variations of airborne fungal spores concentration between town and rural area. The

Water- and air-distributed conidia differ in sterol content and cytoplasmic microviscosity

, 2010
Airborne and waterborne fungal spores were compared with respect to cytoplasmic viscosity and the presence of ergosterol. These parameters differed markedly between the two spore types and correlated with spore survival.

Infectious particle identity determines dissemination and disease outcome for the inhaled human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
The majority of invasive human fungal pathogens gain access to their human hosts via the inhalation of spores from the environment into the lung, but relatively little is known about this infectious process. Among human fungal pathogens the most frequent

Spatial distribution of modern pollen and fungal spores and their ecological indication in Qinghai Lake on northeastern Tibetan Plateau, China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) – also called the “third pole” – is an ideal area to study the long-term relationship between people and the environment due to its sensitivity to both climate change and anthropogenic activities. Qinghai Lake in the north-
