Abstract

RATIONALE: D. farinae extracts contain more endotoxin than D. pteronyssinus extracts. We have shown that this endotoxin is associated with bacterial DNA in D. farinae mites. Sequence analysis suggests that this bacterial DNA is from Bartonella. In this study, we have probed for bacterial DNA in D. farinae extracts and other mite species.
