      geographic region of Galicia, Spain.

AB  - 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 FcepsilonRIalpha-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.
