House dust mites and mite allergens in public places

Allergen exposure and control.
TL;DR: A framework to improve and develop allergen avoidance as an effective component of asthma management is provided to provide a perspective to evaluate the individual methods used to kill mites and to reduce exposure to the allergens.

High-efficiency particulate arrest-filter vacuum cleaners increase personal cat allergen exposure in homes with cats.
TL;DR: The use of new HEPA-filter modern vacuum cleaners to reduce pet allergen exposure in the homes of pet owners should not be justified merely on the basis of experimental chamber data.

Influence of Wear, Pile Height, and Cleaning Method on Removal of Mite Allergen from Carpet
TL;DR: It is suggested that carpets differ greatly in their propensity to retain allergens, and that a consideration of carpet age, construction, and cleaning regime is important when advising the merits of different floor covering types, and on allergen avoidance techniques.

Eviction des pneumallergènes de l'environnement domestique
TL;DR: A la lumiere des etudes cliniques de plus en plus nombreuses, il semble logique de considerer the reduction of l'exposition allergenique comme une des parties importantes du traitement de l'asthme allergique, sans que l'on connaisse actuellement les caracteristiques des patients qui en tireront le plus de benefice clinique.

The house-dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) and the allergens it produces. Identity with the house-dust allergen
TL;DR: The finding of the house-dust mite seems to supply an answer to all factors, and the keystone of the theory is formed by the fact that after being made equivalent, extracts of house dust and mite cultures gave skin reactions which were both qualitatively and quantitatively indistinguishable.

Reducing house-dust mites by vacuuming.
TL;DR: Two types of nozzles were compared for efficiency in extracting dust and house-dust mites from textile floor-coverings and the motorized nozzle appeared to be significantly more effective in extracts dust; however, for the mites no such difference could be noted.
