Transmission of fungal spores in space and their conditions for survival: a review.
The transfer of fungal spores to suitable hosts or nutrient substrates frequently depends on spore discharge and aerial transport to transmit the species. Factors affecting spore translocation and travel have been evaluated mycologically and mathematically and are reviewed. Global disease spread and transmission monitoring are discussed.
