The Effects of Fungus Spores on Asthma
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The spores have formed by fungi and these spores have developed characteristics that enable them to cope with the stresses of survival and disintegration. In the distribution of fungus spores in the atmosphere, it is important in the meteorological factors as well as the features of the fungus. The meteorological factors that play a role in the distribution of fungus spores are temperature, humidity, rain and wind. The fungus spores, especially spreading from one region to another with the effect of winds, increase their concentrations in the atmosphere with other meteorological factors and the geobotanical characteristics of the region. Fungus spores in the atmosphere form a significant part of the airborne bio particles and can be found in every period of the year in the atmosphere. Fungus spores in the atmosphere may cause adverse effects on living organisms under appropriate conditions. The number, diversity, production and transport of airborne fungus spores vary according to time of day, weather, season, and geographical region, geobotanical characteristics of the region and the presence of local sports resources [1-2]. The diversity of fungus spores in the atmosphere is quite high. The detection of the diseases that this fungal diversity reveals is very important in the treatment of the disease. Fungus spores are caused by asthma at the beginning of diseases caused by humans and it is known that fungus spores are triggered by increasing concentrations in the environment [3]. Studies on the relationship between asthma and fungus spores are generally limited to specific species.

Current asthma in schoolchildren is related to fungal spores in classrooms.
BACKGROUND The presence of visible mold in households is associated with asthma. However, the role of "classroom fungus" in the development of childhood asthma, as well as the fungal species that may lead to asthma, remains controversial. This nationwide school survey was conducted to investigate the correlation between fungal spores in classrooms and asthma in schoolchildren. METHODS From Ap...

Alternaria alternata (AA) is an important mould in respiratory allergic diseases. The objective is to determine the prevalence of AA sensitization in respiratory allergic patients and to examine the annual variation of Alternaria spores. 824 patients between 5 and 65 years old with allergic rhinitis and /or asthma were enrolled. Prick tests were performed with two different standardized AA extr...
متن کاملEffect of amino acid and mycorrhiza inoculation on sweet pepper growth under greenhouse conditions
ABSTRACT- The production of greenhouse sweet pepper is increasing because of the consumer demand for sweet pepper year around. In this study, physiological characteristics of sweet pepper were evaluated in a greenhouse under different levels of arbascular mycorrhizal fungus, Glomus intraradices, (AMF) and various levels of amino acid (AA). Treatments included no AMF as a control (AMF1), 1000 sp...
متن کاملDecolorization of Distillery Wastewater by UV irradiated spores of Aspergillus fumigatus
An efficient microbial technique for decolorizing distillery wastewater was achieved using irradiated spores of Aspergillus fumigatus. The fungus was isolated from soil samples taken from the local distillery processing unit. By using the irradiated spores, wastewater decolorization increased by 14.3% as compared to that of the control treatment (68.8% vs. 54.5%). In the presence of sodium nitr...

Microbial endophytes, which are considered as the most important soil microorganisms, increase the yield of their host plants by creating changes in their genetic, physiological and ecological traits. Pirifomospora indica fungus is a member of Sebacinales order, which increases plant biomass and resistance to living and non-living stresses. In this study, effect of different concentrations [0 (...
