  • Title: [Aerobiological study of Alternaria and Cladosporium conidia in the atmosphere of Almeria (SE Spain)].
    Author: Sabariego Ruiz S, Díaz de la Guardia Guerrero C, Alba Sánchez F.
    Journal: Rev Iberoam Micol; 2004 Sep; 21(3):121-7. PubMed ID: 15709785.
    Abstract:
    This study analysed the seasonal and intradiurnal behaviour of fungal spores from Alternaria and Cladosporium on air samples collected in the city of Almeria (SE Spain), as well as the influence that meteorological parameters have on the concentration of these type of spores. Aerobiological sampling was made during four years (1998-2001) using a Hirst-type volumetric spore trap. Spores of Alternaria and Cladosporium were detected throughout the year, reaching the highest concentrations from May to October. The diurnal patterns of these taxons reflected a presence similar of spores during a 24 h period, with values horary close to 4% of total sampling daily. The correlations show a positive association with temperature, hours of sunshine and accumulate rainfall, but negative with daily rainfall.
