title: [Glycyphagus cadaverum housedust mites--a powerful source of allergens in Uzbekistan].
abstract: The house-dust mites, Glycyphagus cadaverum (Schrk.) and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trt.) are prevalent species in the houses of Uzbekistan. Their prevalence rates are 57.8 and 28.5%, respectively. G. cadaverum was detected in 62. 13% of the houses. It numbered as many as 1013 per g of dust. The tick, house dust and feeding media were extracted and allergic reactions to the extracts were examined by three immunological assays: passive hemagglutination test, indirect degranulation test, and common anaphylactic reaction: The study demonstrated that the extract from G. cadaverum had a higher allergenic potency, which is commonly used in Uzbekistan for the diagnosis of asthma.
