RESUMO

The prevalence of anemophilus fungi was studied in three small towns located at the Brazilian border with Colombia and Venezuela (a hot and humid zone) during the month of July. On a single collection carried out in different spots, colonies were cultivated which could be attributed to eighteen different species of anemophilus fungi with predominance of Mucor (64%), Candida (55%), Rhodotorula (38%) and Penicillum (38%). The alternaria species, a very potent airbone allergen, was found only in one of the three collection spots with high prevalence of respiratory tract allergies.
