This paper provides an updated of airborne Alternaria spore spatial and temporal distribution patterns in the Iberian Peninsula, using a common non-viable volumetric sampling method. The highest mean annual spore counts were recorded in Sevilla (39,418 spores), Mérida (33,744) and Málaga (12,947), while other sampling stations never exceeded 5,000. The same cities also recorded the highest mean daily spore counts (Sevilla 109 spores m(-3); Mérida 53 spores m(-3) and Málaga 35 spores m(-3)) and the highest number of days on which counts exceeded the threshold levels required to trigger allergy symptoms (Sevilla 38 % and Mérida 30 % of days). Analysis of annual spore distribution patterns revealed either one or two peaks, depending on the location and prevailing climate of sampling stations. For all stations, average temperature was the weather parameter displaying the strongest positive correlation with airborne spore counts, whilst negative correlations were found for rainfall and relative humidity.
本文采用常见的非存活体积采样方法，提供了伊比利亚半岛气传链格孢孢子时空分布模式的最新信息。塞维利亚（39418 孢子）、梅里达（33744 孢子）和马拉加（12947 孢子）的年平均孢子数最高，而其他采样点从未超过 5000。同一城市还记录了最高的日平均孢子数（塞维利亚 109 孢子 m(-3)；梅里达 53 孢子 m(-3)和马拉加 35 孢子 m(-3))，以及超过引发过敏症状阈值水平的天数最多（塞维利亚 38%和梅里达 30%的天数）。对年度孢子分布模式的分析表明，采样点的位置和盛行气候取决于一个或两个峰值。对于所有站点，平均温度是与气传孢子计数呈最强正相关的气象参数，而降雨和相对湿度则呈负相关。
