We report three new cases of allergy to Gammarus, two of them involving cutaneous symptoms, and the third one with occupational asthma. The results showed exposure to feed containing Gammarus shrimp to be the main cause of the allergic symptoms in the three patients. In all cases the intervention of IgE was demonstrated, with the absence of cross-reactions with other common allergenic arthropods.

Comparison of Conventional IgE Assay and Measurement of Specific IgE to Haemocyanin for the Diagnosis of Adult Crab Allergy.

GENTIS JSC, Hanoi, Vietnam.
Five potential allergens of freshwater crab (Somanniathelphusa sinensis), including hemocyanin, have been discovered. Specific IgE to haemocyanin was increased in crab-allergic than in crab-tolerant patients. The add-on of specific IgE to hemocyanin to skin prick test enhanced the specificity of the crab allergy diagnosis.

Background: In California, climate change and competing water demands are intensifying the desiccation of the Salton Sea, a large land-locked "sea" situated near the southeastern rural US-Mexico border region known as the Imperial Valley.
Methods: To examine the possible effects of living near a saline lake on children's respiratory health, we analyzed the relationship between respiratory health symptoms and ambient PM concentrations among a predominantly Latino/Hispanic cohort of 722 school age children. Guardians completed a survey of their child's wheeze and respiratory health symptoms over the past 12 months, adapted from the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC).

The effect of electric field intensities (EFIs, 5-20 kV/cm) and treatment times (0.5-2 h) on allergenicity and spatial conformation of prawn tropomyosin was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the IgG and IgE binding capacity of tropomyosin maximally increased by 24.

β-Enolase is a cross-allergen commonly found in fungi, plants, and aquatic products. Although studies on the allergenicity of fish enolase have been reported in recent years, they are still limited to a few species of marine fish. Therefore, the detection of freshwater fish in the food industry requires more studies of the molecular characterization as well as the allergenicity of enolase.
