Relevance of aerobiological studies in Nigeria: a two-year aerospora record of Lagos
Pollen and fungal spores (aerospora) are major atmospheric bioaerosols for pollen allergy sufferers. Aerospora types and concentration vary...
-
Comparative study of aeropollen and pollinosis cases
Research linking pollen grains in the air with allergy cases (pollinosis) is still incipient in Africa. To close this gap, aerosamplers were placed...

Palynomorphs and travel history of vehicles in Nigeria
A reconstruction of the travel histories of vehicles, using palynomorphs (pollen and spores) recovered from dust and soot from their car air filters,...
-
Aeropalynological study of two selected locations in North-Central Nigeria
Pollen and spores have been found as major biological sources of morbidity among individuals sensitive to respiratory disorders. The aim of the...
