Domestic mites from an acarologic perspective

Allergy
F T Spieksma

Abstract

Knowledge of the taxonomic, physiologic, biologic, and ecologic characteristics of allergenic domestic mites contributes to the understanding of the causation of many cases of allergic asthma, and to the measures to be taken to control excessive mite occurrence in homes. Domestic mites, i.e., the combined group of storage mites living in the home environment and of pyroglyphid house-dust mites, belong to the subclass of the acari. This comprises also many other mites of medical and economic importance, together with thousands of free-living mites. Because of some species-specific properties of their allergenic products, it is important that the producing mite is always correctly identified. In spite of their small size (approx. 0.5 mm), domestic mites have well-developed and elaborate systems of respiration, digestion, and water balance, enabling them to live and survive in the various habitats of the home environment. Knowledge of the effects of the various and changing ecologic conditions in the home environment is helpful in developing strategies to prevent the establishment and growth of large populations of allergenic domestic mites.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
