Abstract
The airborne fungal spore content of the Havana city was studied from January to December 2017 by means a Hirst type volumetric methodology. Ten spore types were recorded for the first time in the atmosphere of the Cuba Island. A morphobiometrical description of the characteristics of each kind of spore was conducted. Four ascomycetes were identified (Amphisphaeria, Ascobolus, Cucurbidothis-type and Lewia) and six conidial genera were identified (Exosporium, Helicomina, Microsporum, Solheimia, and Trichocladium). Most of them are pantropical, saprophytes of different plants, and they could cause allergies or diseases in fruit crops of urban agriculture. This work increases the knowledge about the diversity of the airborne fungi in a neotropical region.
期刊介绍：
Associated with the International Association for Aerobiology, Aerobiologia is an international medium for original research and review articles in the interdisciplinary fields of aerobiology and interaction of human, plant and animal systems on the biosphere. Coverage includes bioaerosols, transport mechanisms, biometeorology, climatology, air-sea interaction, land-surface/atmosphere interaction, biological pollution, biological input to global change, microbiology, aeromycology, aeropalynology, arthropod dispersal and environmental policy. Emphasis is placed on respiratory allergology, plant pathology, pest management, biological weathering and biodeterioration, indoor air quality, air-conditioning technology, industrial aerobiology and more.
Aerobiologia serves aerobiologists, and other professionals in medicine, public health, industrial and environmental hygiene, biological sciences, agriculture, atmospheric physics, botany, environmental science and cultural heritage.
