Abstract This study was conducted to determine the influence of environmental factors on the prevalence of house dust mites in student dormitories of Bandar Abbas city. In this study, 64 dust samples were collected from seven randomly selected dormitories located in various areas of the Bandar Abbas. The collected mites were isolated and mounted in Hoyer’s medium and identified using a morphological key. The associations between the environmental factors and the density of house dust mites were investigated. In total, 1,093 adult mites were collected and identified. They consisted of four species including Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus Trouessart (57.6%), Dermatophagoides farinae Hughes (24.3%) and Dermatophagoides evansi Fain (14.9%) (Acari: Pyroglyphidae), and Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans (3.2%) (Acari: Cheyletidae). All of the dormitories were contaminated by more than one house dust mites species and the mean density of house dust mites in dormitories was 8.3 ± 0.2 mites/g of dust. There was a significant relationship between average house dust mites density and some of environmental factors such as relative humidity, temperature, floor covering type, and number of occupants (P < 0.05). Results of this study revealed that two major allergenic dust mites, D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae, were the most prevalent and collected from all of dormitories and some of indoor environmental factors found to influence mites’ population.

Allergies in dogs have become a relatively frequent topic of discussion in veterinary surgeries. Many dogs, both purebred and of mixed breeds, are diagnosed for allergies. Allergies have many causes, from genetic predisposition to the environmental conditions in which the animal lives. Allergies in dogs are troublesome because they can lead to serious health complications when diagnosed late or left untreated. The results of the study support the hypothesis that the percentage of allergies to individual allergens varied by region (Tab. 4). Differences were observed in the case of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae house dust mites, Acarus siro, and Tyrophagus. The remaining allergens caused allergic reactions in similar percentages of dogs from northern, central and southern Poland.

Abstract Background Efficacy of allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) in patients with asthma could be significantly enhanced when physicians have an opportunity to identify those who are most likely to respond, determine when to stop treatment, and predict relapse. Thus, molecular allergy diagnostic is an effective tool that could help to individualize the diagnosis and treatment of asthma by accurate detection of the causative and cross-reactive allergens in pediatric patients. Cytokines are known as reliable diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for asthma and can be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Objectives To evaluate the roles of molecular allergy diagnostic and biomarkers (L-10, IFNγ и TGFβ) as predictors of ASIT efficacy in pediatric patients with asthma. Design/Methods Eighty children aged 5 to 18 years with mild and moderate atopic bronchial asthma were included in the study. Sixty-eight out of 80 (85%) were found to have sensitization to house dust mites Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus and/or Dermatophagoides Farinae. All these patients underwent molecular diagnostics using ImmunoCAP (Phadia 100) to determine the major (r Der p1, r Der p 2) and minor allergens (r Der p10) of the house dust mites. Twenty-eight patients with mild and moderate asthma were found to have a high sensitivity to these allergens and received SLIT with a mixture of house dust mites (Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus and/or Dermatophagoides Farinae). To compare the efficacy of SLIT, we evaluated the severity of asthma clinical symptoms on a point scale from 0 to 3, and biomarker levels (IL-10, IFNγ и TGFβ) before and 6 months after SLIT. Twelve healthy children were included in the study as a reference group. Results At the beginning of the study, the average daily score in the SLIT group of 2.5 ± 0.7, and after 6 months of treatment, it decreased to 0.5 ± 0.2. The levels of biomarkers were markedly decreased prior to the treatment, especially TGFβ levels, and normalized at the end of treatment (Tab.1). Conclusion These findings support the efficacy of molecular diagnosis to determine the efficacy of allergen-specific immunotherapy in patients with asthma.

Feeding Interactions

Abstract The feeding interactions between house dust mites (HDM) and microorganisms are key factors in the survival of mites in human environments. The suitability of different microbes for HDM is not known. Here, microbial species isolated from HDM cultures were offered to HDM in food preference tests under laboratory conditions. The microbial species were added to the rearing diet of mites to reach 7% of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and 10% of each tested microorganism. The suitability of each microbe-supplemented diet for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae was compared in terms of mite population growth and mite preference in a cafeteria test. The effect of mite feeding on the respiration of microorganisms in the diet was observed in microcosms. HDM were able to feed and reproduce on some bacterial and fungal species, but the suitability of microbial species differed. Increasing the yeast Sa. cerevisiae in the diet from 7 to 17% appeared the most suitable for both mite species. Staphylococcus spp. bacteria were preferred for D. farinae and were suitable for reproduction. The population growth and feeding preferences of D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae with respect to microorganisms indicate that D. farinae can develop on a diet with bacterial (Staphylococcus nepalensis and Staphylococcus kloosii) additions, whereas D. pteronyssinus was successful on a diet with fungal (Aspergillus jensenii and Aspergillus ruber) additions. The bacteria Kocuria rhizophila and Bacillus cereus decreased population growth in D. pteronyssinus, whereas the yeasts Hyphopichia pseudoburtonii, Hyphopichia burtonii, and Candida ciferrii decreased population growth in D. farinae. These results indicate that some microorganisms are an important food source for HDM.
