In total, five fugal were found and identified as Aspergillus Niger (39.0%), Aspergillus Fumigatus (33.3%), Aspergillus Flavus (11.1%), Fusarium spp. (11.1%) and Acremonium spp. (5.6%).</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Public Health and Health Sciences Research}, author={Boursrikeaw, Paramase and Chommueang, Budsakorn and Yasaka, Sudawadee and Pimolsri, Urat}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={13–20} }
