Ogawa等人的通信中的信息很好地说明了环境条件的变化和致敏微生物的长途运输对过敏性疾病的影响。大气中生物的长途运输属于空气生物学的一般类别，这是许多过敏症专家非常感兴趣的领域。Ogawa等人指出，担孢子在尘埃中长途运输的结果很可能来自中国甚至非洲的沙漠地区。2、3由于篇幅限制和重大考虑，我们没有将长途运输和日益严重的荒漠化问题纳入气候变化一文。然而，正如小川等人指出的那样，这些话题确实值得关注。例如，一个更熟悉的影响美国中部大片地区过敏实践的长途运输事件是将雪松花粉从德克萨斯州的爱德华兹高原运送到密苏里州堪萨斯城或加拿大安大略省伦敦的地区。在http://pollen.的每日预报中记录了雪松花粉季节的这种运输乌图尔萨。EDU/Current。HTML。在预测每日花粉水平较高的地区，建议敏感的人限制户外活动。此外，随着美国植物区向北移动的增加，这些雪松树正在扩大它们的领土，这些花粉可能会在强大的冬季风暴锋面上看到更长的传播范围。长途运输的一个警告是，对过敏原的反应至少在一定程度上与剂量有关。因此，可检测到的过敏原数量可能对临床影响不大
The information in the correspondence from Ogawa et al1 is a good illustration of the impact that changing environmental conditions and long-distance transport of allergenic organisms can have on allergic disease. Long-distance transport of organisms in the atmosphere falls under the general category of aerobiology, an area of strong interest for many allergists. Ogawa et al points to the results of long-distance transport of a basidiospore in dust that likely originated from desert areas of China or even Africa. 2, 3 Due to space limitations and significance considerations, we did not include long-distance transport and increasing desertification in the climate change article. 4 Yet, these topics do deserve some attention as Ogawa et al pointed out. For example, a more familiar long-distance transport event that impacts allergy practice in large areas of the central United States is the transport of cedar pollen from the Edwards Plateau in Texas to areas as far as Kansas City, Missouri, or London, Ontario, Canada. This transport is documented during the cedar pollen season on a daily forecast at http://pollen. utulsa. edu/current. html. In areas where daily pollen levels are forecasted to be high, sensitive individuals are advised to limit outdoor activities. 5 Moreover, with increasing northern movement in the US floristic zones, these cedar trees are expanding their territory, and this pollen may see even longer-ranging disbursal on strong winter storm fronts. One caveat to long-distance transport is that response to allergens is, at least in part, dose related. So detectable amounts of allergens may have little clinical impact
