Abstract
From January 1990 to April 1995, 68 nests of in total 12 bird species were examined for the presence of allergenic mites. The majority of these nests were collected in Solarnia near Lubliniec, Tychy and vicinity, and in Laziska Gorne (all Upper Silesia, Poland). In addition, six brood shelters from Niepolomicka Forest were investigated. Among the most frequent and most abundant species of astigmatic mites were two pyroglyphids: Hirstia chelidonis and Dermatophagoides evansi. For the first time Dermatophagoides farinae (2 females and 3 males) was found in association with birds. The most important allergenic house dust and storage mites (Glycyphagus domesticus, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Acarus siro, D. farinae) were found among the less abundant mite species.
