::does anybody know something about the size range of dust-mite faeces?
:I did a literature research of the last 5 years, but I just found one
:japanese paper dealing with this topic. I posted this message last week,
:but I think it wasn`t successful.
::Please post Your answer - perhaps there is anyone else who want`s to know
:that - and please mail me, `cause I=B4ve not the possibility to =19surf?
:every day. What a pitty :(
There was a paper of Barbara Hart "The biology of allergenic domestic mites"
(Clinical Reviews in Allergy and Immunology 1995; 13:115-133) which gives
a lot of details on the anatomy and physiology of dust mites. I think that
your question is difficult to answer because of the large variation of
osmoregulation in domestic mites.
