  • Title: Storage mites and their role in the onset of asthma and oculorhinitis among cattle farmers in north-east Italy.

    Abstract:
    The results are reported of an epidemiological study carried out in the province of Treviso in north-east Italy. The research was designed to ascertain the sensitization, through an IgE mechanism, to the main allergens present on cattle farms. Also reported are the results of a mite survey undertaken in ten barns in the same region. Investigations revealed a significantly larger degree of sensitization to storage mites among cattle farmers than in the control subjects. This sensitization was well correlated with mite species to be found in cattle barns. However, the frequent co-sensitization to Dermatophagoides offers a topic for further study.
