Abstract


Together with Alternaria, Cladosporium spores are known to be potent aeroallergens and its concentrations in the air are strongly dependent on meteorological factors. There are many articles from different parts of the world about relationships between Cladosporium spore count and weather parameters. The aim of the study was to review all available publications about Cladosporium spores in the air and compare the results in a short, useful form.
