Identification the Cross-Reactive or Species-Specific Allergens of Tyrophagus putrescentiae and Development Molecular Diagnostic Kits for Allergic Diseases.
TL;DR: This study aimed to investigate the immunoglobulin E (IgE)- responsiveness profiles of Tp-allergic patients and develop a molecular diagnostic method using recombinant allergens to identify IgE-mediated Tp hypersensitivity.
Book ChapterDOI
Mite (Acari Acarina) vectors involved in transmission of plant viruses
TL;DR: The development of new biotechnology-based strategies to reduce transmission by vectors and to decrease vector populations are attractive because these target pathways in the transmission of viruses.

New advances in insect vector biology and virus epidemiology
Muhammad Sarwar,Roohi Aslam +1 more
TL;DR: Insect vector biology deals with an insect that transmits pathogens, its contacts with hosts, and its interaction with disease-causing organisms, and the development of environmentally safe antivector compounds will complement traditional residual insecticide spraying and genetically engineered microbial agents will be used to kill vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unified Airway Disease: Environmental Factors.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors found that exposure to environmental factors that promote inflammation and disease, such as house dust mites, pets, pollens, and molds, is strongly linked with development and exacerbation of upper airway disease with nonlinear dose-dependent relationships.

Journal ArticleDOI
The link between fungi and severe asthma: a summary of the evidence
TL;DR: The epidemiological evidence that associates severity of asthma with fungi is described, the case for the consideration of a new term related to this association is put forward and it is recognised that enhanced and precise definition of fungal sensitisation will require improvements in diagnostic testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of infectious aerosols in health care facilities: An aid to effective engineering controls and preventive strategies
Eugene C. Cole,Carl E. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: The nature of infectious aerosol transmission is focused on in an attempt to determine which factors can be systematically addressed to result in proven, applied engineering approaches to the control of Infectious aerosols in hospital and health care facility environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variation in dust mite and grass-pollen allergens in dust from the houses of patients with asthma
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that large seasonal variations in allergen can occur in dust from all sites and are not restricted to the houses of allergic patients, and suggest that mite-allergic patients are more likely to have attacks in the fall at a time when their houses have greater than 10 micrograms AgP1Eq per gram of dust.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence of house dust mites, Dermatophagoides spp, and associated environmental conditions in homes in Ohio
TL;DR: Live mites were more abundant than dead mites during the period when total abundance was high, and in homes inhabited by both species, D. farinae was the dominant species, except in one home that had a significantly higher relative humidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary ecology of astigmatid mites
TL;DR: The cohort Astigmata with 69 families and 785 genera represents by far the largest adaptive radiation of mites into symbi otic associations, and other acarine lineages include relatively diverse radiations in association with both arthropods and vertebrates, but none approach the diversity of the AstigmATA.
