  1. Aerobiology of Southern New Mexico Soum Sanogo Department of Entomology, Plant Pathology, and Weed Science, New Mexico State University

  2. Fungi (molds) in the Air • Diverse sources: Agricultural and non-agricultural environments. • Winds: Major vehicle for transport from sources to other environments

  3. Fungi (molds) in the Air • Outdoors and Indoors • While you are taking this quiz, you are probably inhaling fungal spores. Which of the following are least likely to be in the air now in the room? • A. Conidia • B. Sporangiospores • C. Zoospores • D. Asexual spores • E. All of the above • F. None of the above • Concern: load in the air

  4. Sampling Methods • High-volume dust collectors • Exposure of petri plates containing growth media outdoors • Volumetric air samplers (single-stage and 6-stage Andersen samplers) • Rain water collection • Sticky tapes mounted on glass slides

  5. Courtesy DuBois Courtesy DuBois Dry deposition (impaction) using volumetric sampler Wet deposition with rain gauge

  6. SamplingMethods Single-stage sampler

  7. SamplingMethods 6-stage sampler

  8. Single-stage sampler Courtesy DuBois

  9. SamplingMethods Passive deposition

  10. SamplingMethods Processing of dust samples impacted upon solid agar media and rainwater samples Identification of fungal microorganisms recovered from dust and rainwater samples

  11. Standard Operating Protocol for Fungal Analysis

  12. Samplinglocations Las Cruces Arizona Palomas New Mexico Mexico Cd. Juarez, Mexico

  13. Samplinglocations Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) Non-CAFOs

  14. Aspergillus Aspergillosis

  15. Alternaria/ Penicillium/ Fusarium/ Cladosporium Mold allergies

  16. Trichoderma/ Rhizopus / Mucor Mold allergies

  17. Aureobasidium Allergies/Asthma
