Survey of acarine fauna in dust samplings of curtains in the city of Campinas, Brazil

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the mite fauna present in 33 living room and 22 bedroom curtain dust samples from 41 different homes in the southern Brazilian city of Campinas, SP. A total of 148 mite bodies were found. Of these, 83 were found in living-room curtain samples (56.1% of total) and 65 were in bedroom curtain dust samples (43.9%). The most frequently observed mite suborders were: Acaridida (n = 79; 53.4%), Actinedida (n = 53; 35.8%), Oribatida (n = 14; 9.5%), and Gamasida (n = 2; 1.3%). Th… Show more

“…Curtains are an area of the house that often includes other interesting mite species. Binotti et al found phytophagous Eriophyidae (Prostigmata) and ground mites of the order Oribatida in curtains in Brazil (Binotti et al 2005). The authors suggest that wind may have a large part to play in the mite contamination of curtains.…”

“…(Thomas et al, 2003;Prescott et al, 2000;Jenmalm et al, 1997), apesar de também ser encontrada em RNs de mães não atópicas freqüentemente expostas a tais alérgenos (Mariani et al, 1992, Jenmalm et al, 1997. Baseado nos estudos da região de campinas (Oliveira et al1999;Oliveira et al, 2000;Binotti et al, 2005) sabemos que provavelmente todas as mães estudadas foram expostas ao ácaro Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus durante a gestação, sugerindo que a maior concentração de IgG específica nos recém-nascidos de mães RAST+ não foi atribuída à maior exposição ao antígeno.…”
