TI  - House dust and forage mite allergens and their role in human and canine atopic 
      dermatitis.
PG  - 223-35
AB  - This article reviews the literature regarding the role of house dust and forage 
      mite allergens in canine atopic dermatitis. The presence of immunoglobulin E 
      (IgE) to these mites, especially to Dermatophagoides farinae, is common in both 
      normal and atopic dogs. Exposure of dogs to the different mites is described both 
      in the direct environment and in the coat of animals for house dust mites and in 
      the food for forage mites. Allergens causing allergic disease in dogs seem to be 
      different from those in humans. Dogs seem to react to high molecular weight 
      allergens, compared to the low molecular weight group 1 and group 2 proteases 
      that are commonly implicated in humans with atopic diseases. Despite numerous 
      published studies dealing with this subject, a number of questions still need to 
      be addressed to better understand the exact role of these mites in the 
      pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis and to improve the quality of the 
      allergens used in practice.
