“…However, even small quantities of fungi are Van Asselt sufficient to permit the redevelopment of the mite. In consequence, de Saint Georges-Gridelet [35] considered it important that a fungicide should only be used if it could exert maximum activity in the suppression of endemic fungi. These various considerations ignore the fact that killed fungi still remain a good source of nutriments [24]; there is the risk of fungal resistance developing and there is a continual ingress of spores from the outside.…”

In the indoor environment, mites and fungi are two of the most important causes of asthma and rhinitis in people. Although these two subjects are often studied separately, to do so ignores the important ecological relationship between them. For example, fungi may be a source of nutrients, providing the sterols and vitamins required by one of the most important house-dust mites, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. In addition, two other mite species also found in the indoor environment, Acarus siro and Tyrophagus putrescentiae, are attracted by fungi and feed on some species of them. In return, these two mite species are capable of inoculating the micro-organisms into clean food commodities. This review is an attempt to highlight the complex interaction between mites and fungi and to give an overview of our knowledge of this microscopic world. It also hopes to give a clearer understanding of the mechanisms by which fungicides can control, or not, the development of domestic mite populations.

“…Preventive measures are widely advocated, including the avoidance of allergen exposure by reducing the mite content of dwellings. Some recent studies have been published in this journal [2][3][4][5], as well as elsewhere [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…Management comprises of three phases: prevention of infestation, extermination of harmful mites, and removal of allergenie products [13]. In a preliminary report, safety, efficacy and practicality of different domestic acaricides available on the market were compared [6]. In the present experiment, the acaricidal efficacy of products was tested on Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus in standardized seminatural conditions and compared with the results of vacuum-cleaning alone, as a normal household cleaning measure, or with those results in the case of no treatment.…”

The acaricidal efficacy of nine marketed products, i.e. Acardust, Acarosan (foam and powder), Actelic 50, Artilin 3A (spirit and water base), liquid nitrogen, Paragerm AK, and Tymasil, and of intensive vacuum-cleaning have been compared on four different test surfaces: mattress, tufted carpet, gypsum board and rough wooden board, all covered with artificial house dust. They were inoculated with the house dust mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus or the house-dust fungus Aspergillus repens for evaluation of the fungistatic claims of some products. The acaricidal activity of Tymasil did not surpass that of vacuuming; its fungistatic effect was not apparent. The other products showed complete to almost complete eradication on at least one of the substrates tested. Taking into account the results of acaricidal efficacy as well as the data on safety and practicality acquired earlier, Acarosan powder was considered first choice for carpet treatment. Acarosan and liquid nitrogen, were found to be effective in the treatment of mattress, pillow, upholstered furniture and heavy curtains. On wooden surfaces Acarosan was found to be both effective and safe, while Acardust, Actelic 50, Artilin 3A (both fungistatic as well as acaricidal), liquid nitrogen and Paragerm also passed the efficiency test.
