House-dust mites play an important role in allergic sensitization in Turkey and other countries. The purpose of this study was to analyze the acarofauna in seven zones that differ in climate and altitude. Dust mites were isolated in 173 of 930 (18.6%) samples. The highest prevalence of house-dust mites was found in the most humid regions of Turkey: Mediterranean (48.4%) and Black Sea (46%). Lower levels were found in central and eastern Anatolia regions where humidity and temperature are low. Mites of the Dermatophagoides spp. were predominant (D. pteronyssinus [83%] and D. farinae [12%] making up the majority of the counts). The presence of mites was related to an increase both in mean temperature (> 15 degrees C) and in humidity (> or = 40%) as well as low altitude (< 300 m). This study suggests that the mite population of humid coastal regions of Turkey is as prevalent as in other temperate climates.
在土耳其及其他国家，屋尘螨在变应性致敏中起着重要作用。本研究的目的是分析七个气候和海拔不同地区的螨类区系。在930个样本中的173个（18.6%）样本中分离出了尘螨。屋尘螨的最高患病率出现在土耳其最潮湿的地区：地中海地区（48.4%）和黑海地区（46%）。在湿度和温度较低的安纳托利亚中部和东部地区，患病率较低。粉尘螨属的螨类占主导地位（户尘螨[83%]和粉尘螨[12%]占计数的大部分）。螨的存在与平均温度升高（>15摄氏度）、湿度增加（>或=40%）以及低海拔（<300米）有关。这项研究表明，土耳其潮湿沿海地区的螨类种群与其他温带气候地区一样普遍。
