Conservatively, at least 100 million people are affected by house dust mite allergy worldwide, manifesting itself as asthma, rhinitis or atopic dermatitis. Despite the growing recognition of this major public health problem, and commitment of considerable research resources, there is still no simple, effective, generally-applicable strategy for dust mite control. The reasons for this are complex, but a contributing factor remains some important knowledge gaps and misconceptions regarding aspects of biology and ecology of dust mites. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive reference work for all readers with an involvement or interest in house dust mite research and management, incorporating for the first time in a single volume the topics of systematics and identification, physiology, ecology, allergen biochemistry and molecular biology, epidemiology, mite control and allergen avoidance. It is hoped the book will help spread the message that studies of the biology and ecology of house dust mites should be regarded within the context of allergic disease rather than as ends in themselves, and that approaches to mite control in clinical management are subject to the same series of ecological rules as any other major problem in pest management.

House Dust Mites: Natural History, Control, and Research Techniques presents a complete synthesis of biological information on dust mites from both an ecological and evolutionary perspective. This book allows readers to consume current knowledge on house dust mite biology as well as methods and techniques to conduct personal research. Written by an expert on house dust mite biological research, this book begins with an explanation of the medical importance of understanding dust mites due to their human health repercussions, including asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. It discusses various species, exposure effects, best practices for habitat reduction and preventative options. The book then goes on to detail the house dust mite’s biology and behavior, such as food and nutrition, water intake, reproduction, colonization and preferred climates. This is an ideal resource for entomologists and acarologists, as well as medical professionals seeking knowledge on insect-borne allergens. Discusses house dust mites’ roles in indoor air quality and allergic asthma Details the lifecycle and behavior of house dust mites to understand their occurrence or continued presence Offers proven control methods such as lethal heat and cold treatments

This book explains the scientific research which demonstrates that house dust mites are the predominant cause of asthma. It also explains why there are more house dust mites than ever before and thus gives the answer to why asthma is increasing.

This book discusses the Indian scenario concerning dust allergy, presenting case studies that reveal the practical aspects of allergies. A gradual increase in the incidence and prevalence of different allergic manifestations has been reported from various parts of the world including several developing countries like India, where the problem has recently surfaced due to the unplanned urbanization, rapid industrialization, metamorphic changes in the environment, and increased air pollution, as well as changes in life style, particularly the adoption of Western life styles and eating habits in the name of so-called modern living. The book is divided into the following chapters: Allergy – what is it?, Allergy – Fact File; Possible allergens in our surroundings; Mechanism of allergic reaction; House dust allergy – an environmental enigma ; The mighty mites; Dermatophagoides – the potent indoor allergen ; Dust mite allergy – evaluation procedure; House dust allergy – an Indian perspective ; House dust allergy in Kolkata – a case study; Allergy & heredity; Allergic manifestations; Diagnostic procedures; and Treatment & prevention.

Abstract: The objective was to simulate the relative humidity and temperature that occurs in a mattress during human occupancy. Being able to reproduce these conditions enabled us to facilitate mite population growth. This artificial system was used to examine two control methods. Mattress rotation was studied as a tactic to control house dust mites. The gradient difference in relative humidity that occurs between the top and bottom surfaces of a mattress is enough to discourage mite growth and survival. Rotation, in this context, is defined as the turning over of a mattress 180 degrees. By rotating a mattress, we found a forty-five percent decrease in mite number on rotated mattresses versus controls. Furthermore, a fifty-five percent reduction in allergen production was recorded. Regular mattress rotation could become part of a non- acaricidal strategy to reduce the dust mite population and allergen in a two-sided mattress. The effectiveness of a high efficiency particulate air vacuum cleaner to remove dust mites and their allergenic debris was investigated. Vacuumed samples were taken from mite-infested mini-mattresses and the layers beneath were removed. Vacuuming removes up to seventy-five percent of the dust mites and ranged from fifty-five to ninety percent. A proportion of the allergen present was also removed by vacuuming. We monitored dust mite population growth on mini-mattresses under two different humidity conditions. In the laboratory setting, dust mites are cultured at a steady relative humidity. In the home, they survive the ambient humidity fluctuations. We compared how these two different humidity regimes would influence dust mite population in a mattress setting. Dust mites maintained at constant hydrating conditions for eight weeks totaled 55,109 mites. Dust mites grown at only eight hours per day of hydrating conditions for seventeen weeks totaled 26,332 mites. In only eight weeks at constant conditions, the dust mite doubled their population. Hence dust mites reproduced faster at a constant relative humidity (above 50%) than on varying conditions. An excellent way of controlling house dust mites is a combination of these tactics. By rotating the mattress, many mites will die because of unsuitable living conditions. Vacuuming can be used to remove these mites and their allergen.
