摘要:The airborne fungal spore content in Havana, Cuba, collected by means a non-viable volumetric methodology, wasstudied from November 2010 – October 2011. The study, from a qualitative point of view, allowed the characterizationof 29 genera and 5 fungal types, described following the Saccardo´s morphotypes, as well as their morphobiometricalcharacteristics. In the amerospores morphotype, the conidia of 7 genera (with ascospores, basidiospores and uredospores)and 5 fungal types were included. Among phragmospores morphotype, the ascospores and conidia of 12 different generawere identified. The dictyospores morphotype only included conidial forms from 6 genera. Finally, the less frequentmorphotypes were staurospores, didymospores and distosepted spores. In general, the main worldwide spread mitosporicfungi also predominated in the Havana atmosphere, accompanied by some ascospores and basidiospores. Cladosporiumcladosporioides type was the most abundant with a total of 148,717 spores, followed by Leptosphaeria, Coprinus and theAspergillus-Penicillium type spores, all of them with total values ranging from 20,591 – 16,392 spores. The higher monthlyconcentrations were registered in January (31,663 spores) and the lowest in December (7,314 spores). Generally, the averagequantity of spores recorded during the months of the dry season (20,599 spores) was higher compared with that observedduring the rainy season (17,460 spores).
