The aim of this paper was to determine for first time the influence of the main meteorological parameters on the atmospheric fungal spore concentration in Havana (Cuba). This city is characterized by a subtropical climate with two different marked annual rainfall seasons during the year: a "dry season" and a "rainy season". A nonviable volumetric methodology (Lanzoni VPPS-2000 sampler) was used to sample airborne spores. The total number of spores counted during the 2 years of study was 293,594, belonging to 30 different genera and five spore types. Relative humidity was the meteorological parameter most influencing the atmospheric concentration of the spores, mainly during the rainy season of the year. Winds coming from the SW direction also increased the spore concentration in the air. In terms of spore intradiurnal variation we found three different patterns: morning maximum values for Cladosporium, night peaks for Coprinus and Leptosphaeria, and uniform behavior throughout the whole day for Aspergillus/Penicillium."
本文的目的是首次确定主要气象参数对哈瓦那(古巴)大气真菌孢子浓度的影响。这座城市的特点是亚热带气候,一年中有两个明显不同的降雨季节:“旱季”和“雨季”。采用非活性体积法(兰佐尼VPPS - 2000采样器)对空气中的孢子进行采样。在两年的研究期间计数的孢子总数为293,594个,分属于30个不同的属和五种孢子类型。相对湿度是对孢子大气浓度影响最大的气象参数,主要在一年中的雨季期间。来自西南方向的风也会增加空气中的孢子浓度。就孢子的日内变化而言,我们发现了三种不同的模式:枝孢属在早晨出现最大值,鬼伞属和小球腔菌属在夜间出现峰值,曲霉属/青霉属在一整天内表现较为均匀。
