Euroglyphus maynei is a commonly occurring mite species in house dust throughout the world, but studies of its biology and allergenicity have been relatively scarce because it is difficult to culture, and because species of the genus Dermatophagoides have attracted most attention of research workers. Euroglyphus maynei has been increasingly recognized as an important source of mite-derived allergens to which patients with house-dust mite allergy are exposed. There is a need for knowledge of its biology and allergenicity, in order to be able to grow it in vitro, and to establish whether or not it produces any unique allergens which do not cross-react with those of Dermatophagoides spp. and which may be of clinical significance. This article reviews published and unpublished data on taxonomy and identification, geographical and habitat distribution, seasonal population fluctuations, life-history and the effects of temperature and humidity, culture techniques and allergenicity of E. maynei.
梅氏真厉螨是一种在世界各地室内灰尘中普遍存在的螨类物种，但对其生物学特性和变应原性的研究相对较少，这是因为它难以培养，且食酪螨属的物种吸引了研究人员的大部分关注。梅氏真厉螨越来越被认为是屋尘螨过敏患者接触的螨源性变应原的重要来源。有必要了解其生物学特性和变应原性，以便能够在体外培养它，并确定它是否产生任何与食酪螨属物种的变应原无交叉反应且可能具有临床意义的独特变应原。本文综述了已发表和未发表的关于梅氏真厉螨的分类学与鉴定、地理和栖息地分布、季节性种群波动、生活史以及温度和湿度的影响、培养技术和变应原性的数据。
