The grey silverfish Ctenolepisma longicaudatum is a new and serious pest spreading rapidly across Europe. Compared to the silverfish Lepisma saccharinum , it does not depend on relative humidity above 70% and thrives also in new museum buildings, modern storage depositories, apartments, and office buildings. Especially collections of graphic art, modern art on paper, photographs, but also archives and libraries are increasingly affected by this pest. Damage of paper objects has been reported by different authors and institutions across Europe. As these animals live in inaccessible cracks and crevices inside the buildings, we investigated the spread of microorganisms on living grey silverfish, to show a potential additional threat posed by this pest. In 8 locations in Austria living animals were collected with traps and placed for 10 min on agar plates which were incubated for 2 weeks. After incubation of 50 agar plates, between 2 and 20 colonies of fungi were growing on each plate. The most dominant fungal genera were Cladosporium ( Cladosporium cladosporioides clade) and Penicillium ( Penicillium glabrum, Penicillium decumbens ); also, species of the genera Aspergillus , Alternaria , Botrytis , Bartalinia , Byssochlamis , Chaetomium and Mycothypha were found. The diversity of fungi reflects the common fungal community of museums and archives. The spores and mycelial fragments of the fungi are obviously travelling on the legs and bodies of the silverfish.

奥地利博物馆中灰蠹虫（Ctenolepisma longicaudatum）真菌传播的证据

灰色蠹虫 Ctenolepisma longicaudatum 是一种新的严重害虫，在欧洲迅速蔓延。与银鱼 Lepisma saccharinum 相比，它不依赖于 70% 以上的相对湿度，并且在新的博物馆建筑、现代储藏室、公寓和办公楼中也能茁壮成长。尤其是图形艺术、纸上现代艺术、照片以及档案馆和图书馆的收藏品越来越多地受到这种害虫的影响。欧洲不同的作者和机构都报告了纸质物品的损坏情况。由于这些动物生活在建筑物内难以接近的裂缝和裂缝中，我们调查了微生物在活体灰色蠹虫上的传播，以显示这种害虫构成的潜在额外威胁。在奥地利的 8 个地点用诱捕器收集活体动物并放置在琼脂平板上 10 分钟，培养 2 周。培养 50 个琼脂平板后，每个平板上生长了 2 到 20 个真菌菌落。最主要的真菌属是枝孢菌（Cladosporium cladosporioides clade）和青霉（Penicillium glabrum，Penicillium decumbens）；此外，还发现了曲霉属、链格孢属、葡萄孢属、Bartalinia 属、Byssochlamis 属、毛壳菌属和 Mycothypha 属的物种。真菌的多样性反映了博物馆和档案馆的共同真菌群落。真菌的孢子和菌丝碎片显然是在蠹虫的腿和身体上游动。最主要的真菌属是枝孢菌（Cladosporium cladosporioides clade）和青霉（Penicillium glabrum，Penicillium decumbens）；此外，还发现了曲霉属、链格孢属、葡萄孢属、Bartalinia 属、Byssochlamis 属、毛壳菌属和 Mycothypha 属的物种。真菌的多样性反映了博物馆和档案馆的共同真菌群落。真菌的孢子和菌丝碎片显然是在蠹虫的腿和身体上游动。最主要的真菌属是枝孢菌（Cladosporium cladosporioides clade）和青霉（Penicillium glabrum，Penicillium decumbens）；此外，还发现了曲霉属、链格孢属、葡萄孢属、Bartalinia 属、Byssochlamis 属、毛壳菌属和 Mycothypha 属的物种。真菌的多样性反映了博物馆和档案馆的共同真菌群落。真菌的孢子和菌丝碎片显然是在蠹虫的腿和身体上游动。
