      and storage mites in dogs with contact with chickens infested with red mites.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The European poultry red mite (PRM) Dermanyssus gallinae, a common 
      ectoparasite of laying chickens and pigeons; it also can feed on other birds, 
      humans and domestic animals, causing clinical signs ranging from mild discomfort 
      to severe dermatitis. Little is known about possible hypersensitivity to PRM or 
      cross-sensitization with house dust or storage mites. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: 
      Knowledge on possible PRM immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy and possible 
      cross-sensitization with house dust and storage mites may facilitate the clinical 
      approach. The aim herein was to clarify possible evidence of type I 
      hypersensitivity to PRM in dogs and possible occurrence of cross-sensitization 
      with house dust and storage mites. ANIMALS: Sixteen dogs with chronic contact 
      with PRM-infested chickens from traditional bird houses and 10 control dogs with 
      no contact with birds. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Dogs were subjected to intradermal 
      testing (IDT) and serum specific IgE (sIgE) determination for house dust and 
      storage mites and D. gallinae. RESULTS: The highest wheal score was obtained with 
      0.1 mg/mL D. gallinae extract. Positive IDT reactions to PRM were found in four 
      of 10 control dogs and in 10 of 16 from the chicken-exposed group. SIgE to PRM 
      was detected in one control and in seven dogs exposed to chickens. No significant 
      correlation was found between IDT or sIgE scores to PRM and house dust and 
      storage mites. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Contact with PRM-infested 
      chickens may lead to sensitization without allergy, independently from 
      sensitization to house dust and storage mites.
