“…Curiously, the sensitisation to storage mites found in our study is similar to that reported in a study which determined IgE against storage mites in the sera of atopic dogs from different regions of the USA and Europe (Arlian et al, 2003). In that study, 94% of the atopic dogs were positive to storage mites (Blomia tropicalis, Acarus siro and Tyrophagus putrescentiae) and 83% were positive to T. putrescentiae.…”

“…This would justify the use of combinations of storage mite allergens in serological tests in order to reduce costs and to increase efficacy, as occurs in human medicine (Mueller et al, 2002). Nevertheless, it has been suggested that atopic dogs positive to storage mites are sensitised to multiple species of mites (Arlian et al, 2003), and preliminary results for atopic dogs using intradermal tests suggest that allergen-specific immunotherapy should be formulated on the basis of single allergen test results (Mueller et al, 2002).…”

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 FcεRIα-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.

It was recently demonstrated that the taxonomic concept of Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank, 1781), an ubiquitous, agriculturally and medically important mite species, involved two closely related species, and one of them was described as Tyrophagus communis Fan and Zhang, 2007. We show that the prevailing usage of the name T. putrescentiae includes almost exclusively one of these species, and this usage is not in taxonomic accord with the neotype designated by Robertson (1959). We propose that this neotype fixation for the species T. putrescentiae be set aside under Article 75.6 (ICZN, 1999) and a neotype consistent with the prevailing usage be designated. We verified the synonymy of T. putrescentiae (based on the new neotype) after examining the following taxa with extant types: Tyrophagus americanus (Banks, 1906), T. breviceps (Banks, 1906) n. syn, T. cocciphilus (Banks, 1906) n. syn, T. castellanii (Hirst, 1912), T. australasiae (Oudemans, 1916) (tentative synonymy), T. neotropicus Oudemans, 1917, T. amboinensis Oudemans (1925, T. nadinus (Lombardini, 1944), and T. communis Fan and Zhang, 2007, n. syn. For the taxon T. putrescentiae sensu Fan and Zhang (based on the neotype designated by Robertson) a new name is proposed, T. fanetzhangorum, n. sp.

“…What is more, the cross reaction between the mites has been proven. A dependence between A. siro and T. putrescentiae (Arlian et al 2003) was observed. Saridomichelakis et al (2008) also demonstrated that D. farinae strongly inhibited the reactivity of the IgE against D. petronyssinus, but it did not happen the other way round.…”

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most frequent allergic diseases in dogs. There are many methods of treating its symptoms but specific immunotherapy has recently gained high popularity. Before the application of specific immunotherapy, it is necessary to identify the allergens provoking the reaction of hypersensitivity in the selected animal. This raises a question about the method of allergen identification the medical practitioner decides to use in order to obtain the most credible result. The authors of the present study decided to compare the results of intradermal allergic tests and the results of an IgE screening test carried out using the Fc ε RIα receptor method. The aim of the study was to compare the results of both tests directed to dust and storage mites. The study proves that in case of the IgE screening tests (for a group of allergens), the sensitivity is quite high (85 to 90.69%) but the specificity of these tests is insufficient (25 to 50%). In case of antibodies for the selected mites the sensitivity and specificity was too low (65.1 to 89.4% for the sensitivity, with only 14.2 to 33.3% for the specificity). Only in case of D. petronyssinus the results were higher with the sensitivity calculated at 65.1% and the specificity at 80%. The IgE screening test carried out using the Fc ε RIα receptor method is reliable only in case of screening test for mites and the intradermal allergic test remains the gold standard for allergy testing.

Serum immunoglobulin E against storage mite allergens in dogs with atopic dermatitis

Abstract: Many dogs with atopic dermatitis have serum IgE against many allergens of storage mites. Most of these allergens, like allergens of dust mites, had molecular weights > 80 kd. Storage mite sensitivity in dogs may be as important, if not more important, than dust mite sensitivity.
