- Atmosphere: A Source of Pathogenic or Beneficial Microbes? (2012, methodology): “Different analytical approaches have been applied to answer different questions, as the focus of the previous investigations varied from allergens [38–40], to coral pathogens [41] and the phylogenetic characterization of the dust-associated microbial community [20,25,26,42–44].”
- Fluorescent biological aerosol particles measured with the Waveband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor WIBS-4: laboratory tests combined with a one year field study (2012, background): “Wu et al. (2004) reported a total fungal spore concentration of 28 spores L−1 in southern Taiwan and added that increasing daily temperature and rela- tive humidity is associated with rising basidiospore levels in the atmosphere.”
- Transport of microorganisms to Israel during Saharan dust events (2006, methodology): “In the study conducted in Tainan City, Taiwan between December 2000 and April 2001, Wu, Tsai, Li, Lung, & Su (2004) found that during dust events originating in China, there was a change in airborne fungal diversity as compared to normal background flora.”
