Dermatophagoides farinae (D. farinae)

Dermatophagoides farinae, eller den amerikanske husstøvmidden, er et viktig allergen i husstøv. Disse midd finnes overalt i polstrede møbler, tepper og sengetøy, hvor de lever av hudceller som mennesker feller. Deres ekskrementer og kroppsfragmenter kan forårsake allergiske reaksjoner året rundt, som ofte fører til allergisk rhinitt og astma.
