The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive reference work for all readers with an involvement or interest in house dust mite research and management, incorporating for the first time in a single volume the topics of systematics and identification, physiology, ecology, allergen biochemistry and molecular biology, epidemiology, mite control and allergen avoidance. It is hoped the book will help spread the message that studies of the biology and ecology of house dust mites should be regarded within the context of allergic disease rather than as ends in themselves, and that approaches to mite control in clinical management are subject to the same series of ecological rules as any other major problem in pest management.

Matthew Colloff is a senior research scientist with CSIRO Entomology based in Canberra, Australia. He has studied the biology and ecology of dust mites for the last 25 years, focussing on factors affecting their global distribution and abundance, as well as methods for dust mite control. When not working on dust mites, he researches the ecology and management of Australian native vegetation communities.
Comprehensive coverage of the biology and ecology of dust mites
Many chapters contain new data, or new analyses of existing data (including global distribution maps of the most important species)
No similar book exists
Explains key biological and ecological concepts for non-specialist readers
Explores how characteristics of population growth, water balance and physiology of dust mites have contributed to their importance as allergenic organisms
Includes chapters on ecological research methods and identification keys to dust mite species and life-cycle stage
