M van Hage-Hamsten1, B Härfast, S G Johansson.   

Abstract

In 2,578 Swedish farmers, 6.2% were found to have an allergy to storage mites. The storage mite Lepidoglyphus destructor has been identified by both RAST and bronchial challenges as a significant cause of occupational asthma in rural environments. Immunohistochemical studies of L. destructor disclosed that at least one L. destructor allergen is associated with digestion.
