Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH; summer eczema) is an allergic dermatitis
caused by midges or Culicoides spp. not indigenous to Iceland. Icelandic
horses born in Iceland and exported to the continent are more frequently and
more strongly affected than most other horses. Preventive immunisation with
the specific allergens before export to the continent is regarded as a
possible way to reduce the incidence of IBH in exported Icelandic horses.
Eleven allergens from the salivary glands of C. nubeculosus have been
isolated and produced. Preliminary results of immunisation with  four of
these recombinant allergens will be introduced. The role of T cells and
cytokines in IBH in Icelandic horses both systematically and locally in the
skin will be reviewed.
