“…Prior to 1960, a few scattered reports on asthma or rhinitis due to exposure to insect allergens were available. These insects include may fly, aphid, caddisfly, housefly beetles etc 33-36. Feinberg and coworkers (1956) carried out skin tests with insect extracts on a large number of patients suffering from asthma, hay fever, atopic dermatitis, and conjunctivitis and reported that most of them showed a positive response, indicating that the dust of disintegrated insects might be an important cause of inhalant allergy [36].…”

Hypersensitivity or allergy encompasses a wide range of immunological reactions that generally have adverse consequences involving one or many organ systems of the body. Allergens are usually glycoprotein or chemically complex low molecular weight substances. The common allergens include pollen, fungal spores, house dust mite and house dust, animal danders, drugs, foods, insect emanations, and detritus, etc. Information on the role of insects in respiratory allergy is increasing in the literature. There are about 30 million living species of insects. These insects can broadly be classified as stinging insects, biting insects and non-stinging and non-biting insects. All materials form insets namely wings, scales, saliva; dried feces and venom can cause allergic diseases, such as rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma and urticaria. There are wide varieties of insects such as moths, butterflies, bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, flies, beetles, cockroaches, and mosquitoes. Exposure to emanations and detritus of these insects may lead to several allergies in some genetically predisposed individuals. Therefore, it is of interest to review allergies caused by various insect’s stings and bites and their adverse effect on the human body.

“…Pellicle was identified as body component of the mayfly responsible for the allergic symptoms. Parlato (1929) reported the first case of respiratory allergy to caddis fly 33. Skin tests with WBE of caddis fly resulted in immediate wheal and flare reaction in 5-7% of allergic patients.…”

“…In much the same way as moth fragments are detectable in outside or inside air [ 16,17], a significant correlation exists between airborne aller gen and dry weight of insects collected up to 4 weeks before for the non-biting midges of the family Chironomidae [34], These midges often have large seasonal popula tion increases in a similar way to the mayflies and caddis flies [2,3]; however, in many endemic areas these large populations occur throughout the summer period rather than during just a few days. Additionally it is common for such insects to be attracted by household lights, and they can be found in large numbers resting on the walls of dwellings and workplaces during summer months.…”

Allergic Reactions to Arthropods

Allergic reactions to arthropods are some of the most important factors involved in the development of asthma and the precipitation of attacks. Although sensitization to arthropods occurs most frequently in atopic individuals, continual exposure induces parallel sensitivities in a high percentage of non-atopics. The allergens involved are numerous, and although there is a degree of cross-reactivity most arthropod groups exhibit specific allergens that may be of somatic or excremental origin. Prevention is largely dependent upon allergen avoidance measures.

“…The order name Trichoptera is derived from the Latin meaning "hair-wing, " referring to the hair covering the wings of the adults (Wiggins, 1996). Since Parlato (1929), the hairy wing of caddisfly has been known as an inhalant allergen throughout the world.…”

There are few reports of caddisfly fauna in Kamikochi because the location is a special protection zone in the national park. The objective of this study is to clarify the species composition of adult caddisflies by a light trap in Kamikochi. In addition, previous records are reviewed in accordance with the objective of this study. The abundance of adult caddisflies was monitored using a light trap late in May of 2010, late July and September in 2011, and mid-May in 2012. We collected 97 adults representing 20 species of caddisflies in the Myojin area of Kamikochi during the investigation periods. Asynarchus sachalinensis Martynov was the dominant species (21.6%), followed by Neophylax japonicus Schmid (20.6%) and Lepidostoma crassicorne (Ulmer) (11.3%). The present study collected 15 species of caddisflies newly recorded from Kamikochi.
