House dust mite Blomia tropicalis, d201

House dust mites (HDM) are the most important causes of allergic sensitization and diseases. Blomia tropicalis is one of the most common HDM species found worldwide. It is predominantly found in tropical and subtropical regions and is known to coexist with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and/or Dermatophagoides farinae.

Fecal particles of Blomia tropicalis HDM are considered the main source of allergen transport in the air, which causes post-inhalation allergic reactions.
The most common clinical manifestations of allergy to B. tropicalis include allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. B. tropicalis allergens have been found to cross-react with Dermatophagoides and Tyrophagus putrescentiae species.

Allergen immunotherapy and vaccines can be used as a treatment regimen for patients with allergies to B. tropicalis. It is generally recommended to control the growth of dust mites, eliminate the main reservoirs of dust mites, and maintain proper hygiene to prevent an allergic reaction to dust mites in sensitized people. 

The determination of specific IgE in human blood to the house dust mite Blomia tropicalis, d201, shows the body's reaction to this allergen.
