Dermatophagoides farinae bacteria diversity high-throughput sequencing

Abstract

Dermatophagoides farinae Hughes is a widely distributed house dust mite (HDM) (Pyroglyphidae) and one of the major agents of HDM allergy in humans. Studies on the bacterial communities of D. farinae have focused on western populations, while there is a gap of knowledge about the bacterial communities associated with populations from East Asia. With this in mind, we aimed to investigate the diversity of bacteria in laboratory-reared D. farinae from Wuhu, Anhui Province, China.
