AB Purpose: aerobiology is essential for assessing the impacts of biological particleson the environment and human health. However, there's a notable disparity inattention between airborne fungal spores and pollen grains. This communicationaims to establish basic guidelines for initiating airborne fungal spore monitoring ina new sampling location, using the collaboration between the Aerobiology groups ofthe Faculty of Pharmacy of the Complutense University of Madrid and the Faculty ofSciences of the University of Malaga as an example.Characteristics: the interdisciplinary collaboration between the Aerobiologygroups of two universities has facilitated the beginning of spore monitoring inMalaga. Basic guidelines for starting airborne fungal spore monitoring are outlined,including compiling bibliographic material, mounting reference samples, andanalyzing samples obtained from various environmental conditions (indoors andoutdoors) to identify potential differences in spore diversity.Results: the collaboration between experts in different areas within the SpanishAerobiology Network has enabled the collection of data on the presence anddistribution of various airborne spore types in Malaga. This collaboration has led toan increase in available information regarding fungal spore monitoring in the region.Conclusions: understanding the distribution and impact of fungal spores is crucialfor developing disease prevention and mitigation strategies related to fungal aeroallergen exposure. Additionally, this new information could contribute to assessingair quality, supporting urban planning management to minimize health risks, andmonitoring potential phytopathogens affecting local plant populations.
