The most common form of asthma is allergic asthma (atopic or extrinsic asthma), and it is associated with environmental allergens, such as plant pollens, house dust mites (Dermatophagoides farinae), domestic pet dander, molds, and foods. The less common form, intrinsic asthma, has no known allergic cause and usually occurs in adults older than 35 years. Intrinsic asthma may result from an autonomic dysfunction characterized by excess cholinergic... 

Tropomyosin is a protein found in vertebrates and invertebrates, but only the protein from invertebrates has allergic properties. It is frequently found in sea foods, such as shrimps, crabs, American lobsters. Pacific flying squids, and also in some species of cockroaches (Blattela germanica, Periplaneta americand), moths, spiders, and house dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae) (Witteman et ah, 1994).
