Cockroach allergens can persist in households nine months after extermination of cockroach population

Original language description

Feces of German cockroaches (Blattella germanica L.) are medical hazard since they contain microbial pathogens and allergenic proteins including Bla g1 and Bla g2. Cockroach allergies were documented as serious problems in apartment houses and hospitals.In this work we explored for how long may allergens remain (i) in flats after cockroach extermination and (ii) in laboratory under simulated temperature conditions (i.e. 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C). We found that allergens Bla g1 and Bla g2 were very stable over time both in flats and in laboratory after exposure of various temperatures. In households allergen Bla g2 remained unchanged while the content of allergen Bla g 1 decreased by cca 30% in the period of 9 months. Allergenic symptoms may therefore still remain even after successful cockroach extermination from the infested apartment.
