demodex mite bacteria and the immune system

Post by flower »

this may be of interest.
two articles , one entitled:
"The role of bacterial antigen(s) in the etiology and persistence of papulopustular bacteria."
and the other, entitled "Immune system may trigger onset of rosacea symptoms"
the first article speaks to the immune response against the bacteria associated with demodex mites, 'bacillus oleronius' and the second describes the inflammatory process when the immune system is alerted.

there is , according to this research a correlation between demodex, the bacteria they carry, and the susceptible immune systems of certain individuals.

Another study says, "Undoubtedly, infestation with D. folliculorum particularly in large number causes rosacea." source > http://tinyurl.com/bp9e5

I have added the above study to a long list of demodex articles I have collected into one editorial > http://tinyurl.com/cvrj7
