人类中特应性疾病（哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和特应性皮炎）的发病率越来越高，特别是在发达国家。虽然这些疾病的发生有遗传倾向，但发病率的迅速上升被怀疑是由环境因素而不是遗传因素引起的。在一般犬群中，特应性皮炎的发病率和流行率都没有被研究过。由于许多与人类特应性皮炎发病率增加有关的环境因素在狗的环境中一直存在，因此这种疾病发病率的类似增加似乎也可能发生在狗身上。需要对犬特应性皮炎进行流行病学研究，以表征特应性皮炎的发病率和患病率，并进一步研究导致该病发展的因素。(C) 2001爱思唯尔科学有限公司
There is an increasing incidence of atopic diseases (asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis) in humans, especially in developed countries. Although there is a genetic predisposition to the development of these diseases, the rapid rise in incidence is suspected to be caused by environmental rather than genetic factors. Neither the incidence nor the prevalence of atopic dermatitis in the general canine population has been studied. As many of the environmental factors associated with the increasing incidence of atopic dermatitis in humans are consistently found in the environment of dogs, it would seem likely that a similar increase in the incidence of this disease would be occurring also in dogs. Epidemiological studies of canine atopic dermatitis are needed to characterize the incidence and prevalence of atopic dermatitis, and to further study the factors that contribute to the development of this disease.
