Study of the Airborne Fungal Spores in Rosetta .

Wafaa K Taia

In this study, fungal spores within the atmosphere of
Rosetta, Egypt were studied for one year (August 2015 to
July 2016) employing 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. Alternaria,
Cladosporium, Tilletia, Stemphylium, Chaetomium,
Aspergillus/Penicillium-type, Drechslera-type,
Mycosphaerella, and Epicoccum represent the most
spore producers organized in reference to their
abundance. A total of nine fungal spore genera with
minimum 10-day mean equal to or greater than 0.1
spores/m3 of air are involved to construct an
approximate spore calendar.
