Curvularia As Bio-pollutant in the Houses of Asthmatic Patients at Ambajogai Dist. Beed (MS)
Journal Title: Plantae Scientia - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Indoor Curvularia spores are potential sensitizers in human beings, their prevalence is important for diagnosis and environmental management of asthma. Human beings are known to suffer from major allergens such as fungal spores, pollen grains and house dust present in the atmosphere. Inhalation of airborne fungal spores is the main causative factor for respiratory allergic diseases in human beings. Indoor survey of aeromycoflora was performed by using Rotorod air sampler, Petri plate exposure and eosinophil count of asthmatic patient in Ambajogai. The highest concentration of Curvularia spores was recorded in the house of the patient. ‘W’ (12.08 %) in the month of September 2000.
