Abstract:

The aim of this study was to isolate and identify airborne fungi from locations in Babol city, Babolkenar forest and a beach on the Caspian Sea (all in North part of Iran) in spring and summer. Of 126 samples collected, the most clinically important isolated fungi were Mucor spp. (18.6%) in the forest, Alternaria spp. (13.4%) at the beach; and Cladophialophora spp. (15.8%), Mucor spp. (11.7%) and Alternaria spp. (10.6%) in the urban areas. Non-sporulating fungal isolates were grouped in Mycelia sterilia. The concentration of air spora in the forest location was significantly greater than the other locations (p

Many grasses, trees and weeds produce sufficient q...
