Abstract

Ragweed, as an exotic invasive species, which is one of the most important allergens for hay fever, has been invading China for more than 80 years. The increasing number of people with hay fever makes effective treatment, as well as the prevention and control of pollen transmission critical. This article delves into a comprehensive research summary focusing on the allergenic properties of ragweed pollen, its pathogenic characteristics, epidemiological patterns, monitoring and control measures, as well as concentrated management approaches. By exploring these aspects, it provides a reference framework for scientifically sound integrated control methods that encompass biological management, pharmacological treatments, and specific immunotherapy, ultimately aiming to prevent and mitigate the effects of ragweed pollen exposure.

豚草作为“外来入侵物种”进入我国80余年,是花粉症的主要变应原之一。随着花粉症患病人数逐年增多,行之有效的治疗方法十分关键,做好花粉症的预防、控制花粉传播同样至关重要。本文从豚草花粉的变应原特征、致病特点、流行规律、监测防控、集中治理等方面进行研究阐述,为如何科学有效地针对花粉症进行生物学治理、药物治疗、特异性免疫治疗等方面的综合防治提供参考依据。.
