Abstract:
Thirty dogs with a clinical diagnosis of atopy were skin tested with 58 allergens including an aqueous house dust mite extract and a crude house dust extract. Sixty percent of the dogs had positive skin reactions to both the house dust mite and house dust antigens. In atopic dogs, house dust mites appear to be an important allergen source in house dust extracts but are not the only major source.
