House Dust Mite
House dust mites (HDM, or simply dust mites) are various species of acariform mites belonging to the family Pyroglyphidae that are found in association with dust in dwellings. They are known for causing allergies. Biology Species The currently known species are: * '' Blomia tropicalis'' * '' Dermatophagoides farinae'' (American house dust mite) * '' Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus'' (European house dust mite) * '' Dermatophagoides evansi'' * '' Dermatophagoides microceras'' * '' Dermatophagoides halterophilus'' * '' Dermatophagoides siboney'' * '' Dermatophagoides neotropicalis'' * '' Dermatophagoides alexfaini'' * '' Dermatophagoides anisopoda'' * '' Dermatophagoides chirovi'' * '' Dermatophagoides deanei'' * '' Dermatophagoides rwandae'' * '' Dermatophagoides scheremeteroskyi'' * '' Dermatophagoides scheremetewskyi'' * '' Dermatophagoides simplex'' * '' Euroglyphus maynei'' (Mayne's house dust mite) * '' Euroglyphus longior'' * '' Hirstia domicola'' * '' Malayoglyphus carmel ...

Dust Mite Allergy
Dust mite allergy, also known as house dust allergy, is a Sensitization (immunology), sensitization and allergic reaction to the droppings of house dust mites. The allergy is common and can trigger allergic reactions such as asthma, Dermatitis, eczema or itching. The mite's gut contains potent digestive enzymes (notably Peptidase 1 (mite), peptidase 1) that persist in their feces and are major inducers of allergic reactions such as Wheeze, wheezing. The mite's exoskeleton can also contribute to allergic reactions. Unlike scabies mites or Demodex, skin follicle mites, house dust mites do not burrow under the skin and are not parasitic. The symptoms can be avoided or alleviated by a number of measures. In general, cutting down mite numbers may reduce these reactions while others say efforts to remove these mites from the environment have not been found to be effective. Immunotherapy may be useful in those affected. Subcutaneous injections have better evidence than under the tongue ...

Cosmopolitan Distribution
In biogeography, a cosmopolitan distribution is the range of a taxon that extends across most or all of the surface of the Earth, in appropriate habitats; most cosmopolitan species are known to be highly adaptable to a range of climatic and environmental conditions, though this is not always so. Killer whales ( orcas) are among the most well-known cosmopolitan species on the planet, as they maintain several different resident and transient (migratory) populations in every major oceanic body on Earth, from the Arctic Circle to Antarctica and every coastal and open-water region in-between. Such a taxon (usually a species) is said to have a ''cosmopolitan'' distribution, or exhibit cosmopolitanism, as a species; another example, the rock dove (commonly referred to as a ' pigeon'), in addition to having been bred domestically for centuries, now occurs in most urban areas around the world. The extreme opposite of a cosmopolitan species is an endemic (native) species, or one foun ...

Suidasia Pontifica
''Suidasia'' is a genus of mites in the family Suidasiidae and clade Astigmatina. Description The body of ''Suidasia'' mites has various patterns. If small rounded protuberances are present, these are coalescent and at least some are unequal. The dorsal surface is covered in smooth setae. The prodorsum has external vertical setae ''ve'' on the sides of the prodorsal sclerite and near the transverse level of setae ''vi''. The supracoxal setae are lanceolate in shape and have fimbriate margins. The hysterosomal setae are short and do not reach the bases of next setae. On the ventral surface of the body, the anus is positioned near the pretarsal margin. The ventral subcapitulum is without external ridges. Each leg ends in pretarsi ambulacra that are not greatly expanded, and in empodial claws that are simple. The tarsi have solenidion ''ω2'' and setae ''e'' and ''f'', the latter two both being filiform. Ecology ''Suidasia'' are generalists found in various habitats, such a ...

Euroglyphus Maynei
''Euroglyphus maynei'', or Mayne's house dust mite, is a species of house dust mite in the family Pyroglyphidae. Taxonomy The species ''Euroglyphus maynei'' was first described in 1950 by the Belgian acarologist Jean Cooreman (1911–1983), under the original name ''Mealia maynei''. It is found throughout the world. Original publication * Cooreman, Jean (1950). "Sur un acarien nouveau, préjudiciable aux matières alimentaires entreposées: ''Mealia maynéi'' n. sp." ''Bulletin & Annales de la Société entomologique de Belgique''. 86: 164–168.
