A qualitative and quantitative survey was made of the aerospora above an Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees pasture. The pasture, which lay adjacent to a field of Panicum coloratum L. where an outbread of ovine photosensitivity had occurred, was not grazed during the survey. A Burkard volumetric spore trap was used to sample the aerospora continuously for 10 months. Twenty components of the aerospora were recognized: spores of 9 genera of fungi (Cladosporium, Alternaria, Epicoccum, Drechslera, Pithomyces chartarum (Berk. & Curt.) M. B. Ellis, Nigrospora, Sporormia, Curvularia, Spegazzinia); 8 recognizable but unidentified spore types; hyphal fragments and pollen grains. Cladosporium conidia comprised 83,37% of the total aerospora. Conidia of Pithomyces chartarum formed a small (0,29%) but significant component of the aerospora, since this fungus is known to cause hepatogenous photosensitivity.
对弯叶画眉草（Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees）牧场上空的气传孢子进行了定性和定量调查。该牧场毗邻一片已经发生绵羊光过敏症暴发的巴哈雀稗（Panicum coloratum L.）田地，在调查期间未进行放牧。使用一台伯卡德体积孢子捕捉器对气传孢子连续采样10个月。识别出气传孢子的20种成分：9个真菌属的孢子（枝孢属、链格孢属、附球菌属、德氏霉属、黑麦草黑痣菌（Pithomyces chartarum (Berk. & Curt.) M. B. Ellis）、黑孢霉属、粪壳孢属、弯孢属、斯皮格孢属）；8种可识别但未鉴定的孢子类型；菌丝片段和花粉粒。枝孢分生孢子占气传孢子总数的83.37%。黑麦草黑痣菌的分生孢子构成了气传孢子中一个小的（0.29%）但显著的成分，因为已知这种真菌会引起肝源性光过敏症。
