  • (n.) A small weight; one twentieth of a grain.
  • (n.) Anything very small; a minute object; a very little quantity or particle.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Where the guanine content was more than or equal to 0.25% in the dry dust, mite numbers were higher than 10 mites per 0.1 g dust in 43 of the 44 samples.
  • (2) The mites were resistant to coumaphos and sensitive to lindane.
  • (3) A more regular distribution of these mites on the animals points to the mixing of the mites population that effects the dissemination of agents.
  • (4) Mattress dusts from the beds of 51 asthmatic children with positive skin tests to house dust mite were assayed for Der p I, Fel d I and certain viable fungi.
  • (5) According to the quantitative analysis between threshold titers of skin test and RAST titers using house dust and HD mites allergens, specific IgE production shall be decreased in the patients over 40 years old.
  • (6) The heads were examined for adult and larval meningeal worms (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) by physical examination of the brain surfaces, and the Baermann technique, respectively, and for ear mites by examination of ear scrapings.
  • (7) Female Coquillettidia perturbans collected in northern Florida were commonly parasitized by 2 species of water mites.
  • (8) Fifty asthmatics, candidates for hyposensitization with the house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp), went through a series of allergy tests to evaluate the sensitivity of different organs to Dp.
  • (9) Mite size was only one of the determinants of intermediate host efficiency.
  • (10) Inhalant allergens as mite house dust, animal danders, pollens, molds and food allergens are considered, now, to be the most sensitizing agents.
  • (11) Most patients showed several positive skin tests to common allergens particular to grass pollen, house dust and mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssimus).
  • (12) Densities of mites were much higher in skin regions with severe dermatitis.
  • (13) The pathogenesis of the prolific mite population is unclear, but either a specific immunologic deficit or the inability to effectively eliminate the mites by scratching is a plausible possibility.
  • (14) Egg (embryo) production was normal for mites treated with 0.50 krad, but significantly curtailed by doses of 0.75 krad and greater.
  • (15) Serum was obtained from patients with nasal allergy receiving specific immunotherapy for housedust and mites.
  • (16) The frequency of mites in dust from farmers' homes was three times higher and that of pyroglyphids ten times higher than in other dwellings.
  • (17) The radioallergosorbent inhibition test, however, suggested that there may be no cross-reactivity or, if any, only very low cross-reactivity between midge allergens and mite, house dust (HD), silk, shrimp, or mosquito allergens.
  • (18) This impressive immunological effect was not associated with any changes in the radio-allergo-sorbent assay (RAST) to house dust mite, or symptom scores; peak expiratory flow rates or histamine induced bronchial reactivity.
  • (19) In addition to mesophilic species, xerophilic moulds appear to be common, often developing together with mites.
  • (20) Radioallergosorbent test (RAST) studies showed that IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (house dust mite), Aspergillus fumigatus and bovine beta-lactoglobulin were significantly elevated in the sera of infants who died as a result of the sudden death in infancy syndrome (SDIS).
