TI  - Temporal Distribution of Cladosporium and Alternaria Spores in the Atmosphere of Gelibolu (Çanakkale), Turkey
AB  - This aeropalynological study aims to determine the inter-annual and seasonal variation of atmospheric spores belonging to Cladosporium Link and Alternaria Nees genera during the three years. Cladosporium and Alternaria spores are generally recorded as dominant in many atmospheric fungal spore studies and have high allergic effects on susceptible individuals. The species belonging to these two genera may also live as pathogens on the plants and cause low yield. This study was carried out for three years, between January 2018 to December 2020. Durham sampler, which is the device of the gravimetric method, was used in the research. A total of 17399 Cladosporium and Alternaria spores were recorded in the Gelibolu (Çanakkale) atmosphere for three years. The total numbers of Cladosporium spores were found about five times more than the total numbers of Alternaria spores. The maximum spore levels were recorded in June for both spore types. Summer months can be reported as a risky period in terms of Alternaria and Cladosporium pathogenicity and atmospheric fungal spore allergy in the region.
