possible role of contaminated air-conditioning sets in the transmission of zoophylic fungi to man

ABSTRACT

The role of contaminated air conditioning sets in the dissemination of fungi into closed areas was investigated. Air samples were collected while the sets were switched hot, cold and off. The fungal isolates were identified. It was concluded that air conditioning sets may help in the dissemination of fungi in closed places especially when found in contaminated environment or when flying birds [pigeons, sparrows' etc]. soil their metal backs with their excreta
