• W60443280 abstract "he purpose of the study was to measure the commonness of dust mites Dermatophagiodes in households in the Chicagoland area, Illinois, and the types of microhabitats they occupy. Samples were collected during January from various places in 18 homes. Out of the 36 samples taken, only 2 bedrooms of a common home had mites present, and only one mite was found in each sample. The study concluded that dust mites appear not to be widely dispersed throughout homes during winter in northeastern Illinois. INTRODUCTION Due to the discovery of the link between house dust mites and allergies, many studies conducted over the past few years have been focused on better understanding house dust mites and their environment. The most common house dust mite (HDM) species found in homes of temperate zones worldwide are Dermatophagiodes farinae and D. pteronyssinus (Arlian and Platts-Mill 2001, Nadchatram 2005). Most studies on HDMs are motivated by examining the effects they have on allergies and how to reduce HDM populations in homes. The species life cycle consists of the egg, larva, protonymph, tritonymph and adult stages, but D. farinae usually does not complete a full lifecycle unless the environment is ideally between 23°C and 30°C (Arlian and Platts-Mills 2001). Development and population growth of the D. farinae and D. pteronyssinus are also affected by relative humidity. Relative humidity levels between 55% to 85% relative humidity function to extend their range (Arlian and Platts-Mills 2001, Korsgaard and Harving 2005). HDM prefer areas in homes where human activity is frequent. Dust mites feed on human skin scales and most skin cells are found in the bed (Nadchatram 2005). Each human sheds about 1g of human skin each day and one human skin scale as small as 250 mg can support thousands of dust mites for long periods of time (Korsgraad and Harving 2005). Mites can also be found in carpets, corners of rooms and the floor borders, bedding, mattresses and hard to get to areas of beds and rooms (Cristafulli et al. 2007, Nadchatram 2005, Korsgaad and Harving 2005, Maas et al. 2003). House dust mites have been found to cause respiratory allergies, and this has led to studies focused on reducing human exposure to dust mites and ways to relieve allergy sufferers. Dead and live house dust mites and mite material, including fecal matter, can cause allergies when inhaled by a human (Nadhatram 2005, Arlian and Platts-Mills 2001). Methods proven to reduce mite populations in homes include vacuuming, washing bedding and clothes weekly in hot water and tumble drying a clothes dryer or hanging to dry in direct sunlight, replacing carpets with hardwood floors, replacing regular bed sheets with specialized protective bed coverings, replacing furniture with vinyl or leather covered furniture, cleaning air ducts and installing air filtration systems in homes (Narchatram 2005, Sheikh and Hurwitz 2003, Mahakittikun et al. 2001, Albertini et al. 2000, Arlian and Platts-Mills 2001). Though some chemical treatments have been shown to be beneficial, other chemical treatments may not be effective on reducing dust mite exposure and may even contribute to resistant strains of mites (Nadchatram 2005). Lastly, though these treatments have been shown to reduce the T 1 Aller: House Dust Mites Published by DigitalCommons@C.O.D., 2009 7 numbers of dust mites in homes, the benefits to clinical patient symptoms are still unclear, and nasal corticosteroids and systemic antihistamines are recommended treatments (Sheikh and Hurwitz 2003). In view of the allergic responses to house dust mites, the study sampled how common they are in homes of suburban Chicagoland, Illinois." @default.
