The occurence of mites (Acari) on walls infested with moulds in dwelling houses

Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 6

Abstract

Moulds and mites, a serious allergenic threat, are present in dwelling buildings with mycological biodeterioration. The problem becomes even more serious if among allergenic fungi there are species which are mycotoxicogenic and cause human and animal mycosis, such as: Aspergillus versicolor Tiraboschi and Scopulariopsis brevicaulis Bainier. The most common mites found in buildings in temperate climates are Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and D. farinae.<br/><br/>
