Mezquite: una planta alergénica de relevancia clínica en México

Abstract: El mezquite es una planta del género Prosopis que se distribuye en áreas desérticas y semidesérticas de México. Su papel ecológico destaca por su capacidad de fijar nitrógeno y de fertilizar los suelos. Las semillas se usan para la alimentación animal y humana debido a sus propiedades nutricionales. Los extractos del mezquite se emplean en la medicina tradicional y farmacológica para el tratamiento de enfermedades crónicas como la diabetes. Sin embargo, la relevancia clínica del mezquite se le atribuye al pole… Show more

“…Mesquite pollen allergy is clinically relevant worldwide, particularly in desert and semi-desert regions. In addition, the influence of climate change and environmental pollution is expected to increase the allergenicity of this pollen [2]. To date, only two mesquite allergens have been identified and characterized.…”

“…Some species within the genus are invasive and potentially harmful in the ecosystems where they are introduced [1]. Whereas P. juliflora is found in almost all of Mexico, mainly in arid places, from Baja California and Chihuahua to Oaxaca, and from Tamaulipas to Veracruz, P. velutina (velvet mesquite) is a legume native to the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Mojave Deserts (northwestern Mexico and the southwestern United States) where it plays key ecological roles, contributing significantly to the desert ecosystem to which this plant species is restricted [2,3]. Tree pollens are the most abundant in Mexico, outnumbering weed and grass pollens [4].…”
