“…the pollen grains are dispersed both by wind and insects. There are previous reports describing the C. papaya pollen and fruit to be allergenic, where the results were based either on aerobiological (1, 2) or clinical (3, 4) point of view. There are no reports regarding the nature of its immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐reactive protein components so far.…”

Aeroallergens occur naturally in the environment and are widely dispersed across Canada, yet their public health implications are not well-understood. This review intends to provide a scientific and public health-oriented perspective on aeroallergens in Canada: their distribution, health impacts, and new developments including the effects of climate change and the potential role of aeroallergens in the development of allergies and asthma. The review also describes anthropogenic effects on plant distribution and diversity, and how aeroallergens interact with other environmental elements, such as air pollution and weather events. Increased understanding of the relationships between aeroallergens and health will enhance our ability to provide accurate information, improve preventive measures and provide timely treatments for affected populations.

“…Numerous natural allergen sources (e.g., tropical fruits, fruits and vegetables with high allergen contents) have entered the market without having been subjected to any examination. A review of the literature regarding allergic reactions caused by food that has been newly introduced into our diet shows that there is a considerable number of reports about allergic reactions to newly introduced natural or processed food [21,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38] and food additives [22,] whereas almost no data regarding increased allergenicity of GMOs are available [8]. It may, therefore, be pertinent to seek scientific methods that equally allow us to evaluate the allergenic risk of conventional products, as well as GMPs.…”

“…Concerns have been raised when it turned out that a brazil nut allergen was engineered into transgenic soybeans and other transgenic plants [8]. But, on the other hand, in numerous studies it was demonstrated that a variety of natural foods which have been newly introduced on the market have caused allergic reactions [30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38]. For example, kiwi fruits induce allergic reactions in a considerable number of patients as a consequence of their growing consumption in Europe.…”

The prevalence of allergic diseases has been increasing continuously and, accordingly, there is a great desire to evaluate the allergenic potential of components in our daily environment (e.g., food). Although there is almost no scientific evidence that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) exhibit increased allergenicity compared with the corresponding wild type significant concerns have been raised regarding this matter. In principle, it is possible that the allergenic potential of GMOs may be increased due to the introduction of potential foreign allergens, to potentially upregulated expression of allergenic components caused by the modification of the wild type organism or to different means of exposure. According to the current practice, the proteins to be introduced into a GMO are evaluated for their physiochemical properties, sequence homology with known allergens and occasionally regarding their allergenic activity. We discuss why these current rules and procedures cannot predict or exclude the allergenicity of a given GMO with certainty. As an alternative we suggest to improve the current evaluation by an experimental comparison of the wild-type organism with the whole GMO regarding their potential to elicit reactions in allergic individuals and to induce de novo sensitizations. We also recommend that the suggested assessment procedures be equally applied to GMOs as well as to natural cultivars in order to establish effective measures for allergy prevention.
