Fungal spore calendars for Mexico are non-existent. This research represents the first fungal spore concentration data in the atmosphere of Hermosillo, Mexico, a city in the Sonoran Desert with high rates of allergies and public health problems. We used standardized sampling techniques frequently used by aerobiologists, including a Burkard spore trap to monitor airborne fungal spores daily for 2016-2019 and 2022-2023. Results are expressed as daily fungal spore concentrations in air (spores/m air). The most common fungal outdoor spores corresponded to (44%), (17%), Smut (14%), (12%), and Diatrypaceae (7%) of the total 6-year data. High minimum temperatures produce an increase in the most important spores in the air ( and ), whereas precipitation increases Ascospore concentrations. The most important peak of fungal spore concentration in the air is recorded during summer-fall in all cases. Airborne fungal spores at Hermosillo had a greater impact on human health. These data will be of great help for the prevention, diagnostics, and treatment of seasonal allergies in the population and for the agricultural sector that has problems with some pathogens of their crops caused by fungus.
墨西哥没有真菌孢子日历。本研究提供了墨西哥埃莫西约市大气中首批真菌孢子浓度数据,该市位于索诺拉沙漠,过敏率和公共卫生问题高发。我们采用了空气生物学家常用的标准化采样技术,包括使用伯卡德孢子捕捉器在2016 - 2019年以及2022 - 2023年每日监测空气中的真菌孢子。结果以空气中每日真菌孢子浓度(孢子/立方米空气)表示。在6年的总数据中,最常见的室外真菌孢子分别为(占44%)、(占17%)、黑粉菌(占14%)、(占12%)和炭角菌科(占7%)。较高的最低温度会使空气中最重要的孢子(和)数量增加,而降水会增加子囊孢子的浓度。在所有情况下,空气中真菌孢子浓度的最重要峰值都出现在夏秋季节。埃莫西约市空气中的真菌孢子对人类健康有更大影响。这些数据将对预防、诊断和治疗人群中的季节性过敏以及对受作物某些真菌病原体影响的农业部门有很大帮助。
