2023, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyWorsening of chronic house-dust-mite-induced respiratory allergies: An observational survey in three European countries
2021, World Allergy Organization JournalCitation Excerpt :Respiratory allergies, such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and allergic asthma, due to house dust mites (HDMs) affect more than 500 million people worldwide, albeit with significant geographical variations in exposure and seasonality.1–4 Although the symptoms of HDM-induced respiratory allergy are rarely absent in sensitized individuals, the intensity varies over time as the indoor HDM populations and allergen levels fall or rise as a function of changes in the weather or the domestic environment.5–9 This is likely to be partly due to seasonal variations in domestic HDM populations (with peaks in September–November and March–May in the northern hemisphere6,10) and in the amount of time that people spend indoors (ie, most during the winter and less during the summer).

2015, Journal of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :This complexity could explain the relatively low predictive value of questionnaires in diagnosing sensitized subjects in the general population compared with other allergens (ie, 22% vs 64%, HDM vs pollen).29 Moreover, HDM populations can also fluctuate seasonally,30,31 exhibiting corresponding patterns of symptomatic response in patients.32 The key species of HDM involved in allergy are shown in Table I,8 along with a corresponding median value of the climatic variants with which they associate.

2013, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :However, these glands can maintain a positive water balance only at an ambient RH of at least 50%. This dependence on environmental factors of temperature and RH is reflected in seasonal fluctuations in dust mite numbers and allergen levels in different parts of the world.16 Dust mites have a well-developed digestive tract, including an elaborate system of mouth parts (chelicerae and pedipalps), salivary glands, and a duct consisting of esophagus, midgut (food absorption), hindgut (water resorption), and slit-formed anus.17

2013, Allergologia et ImmunopathologiaCitation Excerpt :Moreover, information about the most important aeroallergens in each area has significant impacts on both the diagnosis as well as the treatment of allergy. HDMs are common throughout the world, but as their growth depends on geoclimatic factors, a great variation in the level of HDMs was seen in different regions.23 Iran is a fairly large country with different geoclimatic conditions particularly regarding temperature, humidity and altitude, ranging from arid or semiarid in the central parts to humid subtropical ones alongside the Caspian Sea in the north and the Persian Gulf in the south.
