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.

Zarodniki rodzaju Cladosporium są najczęściej i najliczniej notowanym taksonem grzybowym w większości stacji badawczych na świecie. Są też, razem z rodzajem Alternaria, uznane za czynnik wywołujący objawy alergii i astmy w okresie letnim czyli podczas wysokich temperatur i przy braku opadów. Było to powodem podjęcia prób określenia który z czynników pogody ma najsilniejszy wpływ na wysokość ich koncentracji w powietrzu. Statystycznie istotne, pozytywne korelacje były notowane dla dobowych temperatur maksymalnych, średnich i minimalnych a negatywne dla wysokości opadów deszczu i ciśnienia atmosferycznego. Żaden z autorów nie zanotował istotnej statystycznie korelacji pomiędzy stężeniem zarodników rodzaju Cladosporium a prędkością wiatru. W prognostycznych modelach statystycznych najważniejszymi czynnikami meteorologicznymi wpływającymi na obecność zarodników Cladosporium w powietrzu była średnia temperatura powietrza i temperatura punktu rosy. Przy obecnym stanie badań nad relacjami statystycznymi pomiędzy obecnością (stężeniem) zarodników w powietrzu a czynnikami meteorologicznymi warto popracować nad ulepszeniem istniejących metod badawczych lub zastosowaniem nowych, które precyzyjniej i bardziej jednoznacznie określiłyby rangę poszczególnych czynników meteorologicznych.
