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.
