Sensitisation to mites is frequent in atopic dogs. The main mite genus involved in canine atopic dermatitis is Dermatophagoides. The importance of storage mite allergens in dogs has been controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitisation rates against storage mites (Lepidoglyphus destructor and Tyrophagus putrescentiae) and house dust mites (Dermatophagoides farinae and D. pteronyssinus) in atopic dogs from Galicia, a highly humid and temperate region of Spain, using a FcepsilonRIalpha-based immunoglobulin E (IgE) in vitro test. The study was performed on 95 dogs suffering from atopic dermatitis and presenting detectable specific serum IgE levels: 91.6% of the dogs tested positive for storage mites, whereas sensitisation to house dust mites was detected in 87.4%. These results indicate the importance of storage mites in this specific geographic area.
特应性犬对螨虫敏感很常见。参与犬特应性皮炎的主要螨虫属是嗜皮螨属。储存螨过敏原在犬类中的重要性一直存在争议。本研究的目的是使用基于FcepsilonRIalpha的免疫球蛋白E（IgE）体外试验，评估来自西班牙一个高度潮湿和温带地区加利西亚的特应性犬对储存螨（毁灭嗜鳞螨和腐食酪螨）和屋尘螨（粉尘螨和屋尘螨）的致敏率。该研究对95只患有特应性皮炎且血清特异性IgE水平可检测的犬进行：91.6%的犬对储存螨检测呈阳性，而对屋尘螨致敏的检测率为87.4%。这些结果表明储存螨在这个特定地理区域的重要性。
