Patterns of cross-allergenicity

	Recommendation
Trees
Birch, Alder, Hazelnut, Hornbeam, Beech, Oak*	Use locally most important species
European Olive, Ash, Privet, Russian Olive	Use locally most important species
Cedar, Cypress, Juniper, Arborvitae	Use locally most important species
Pecan, Hickory	Use locally most important species
Poplar, Aspen, Cottonwood	Use locally most important species
Grasses
Northern pasture grasses: Timothy, Orchard, Kentucky Blue, Redtop, Meadow Fescue, Perennial Rye, and Sweet Vernal	Usually Timothy is used to cover this group, but can use a mixture of several species
Bermuda	Allergenically distinct from Northern pasture grasses
Bahia and Johnson	Use additionally if locally important
Weeds
Short, Giant, False, and Western Ragweed	Use locally most important species
Southern and Slender Ragweed, Cocklebur, Burweed Marsh Elder	Use additionally if locally important
Sages, Wormwood, Mugworts	Use locally most important species
Pigweed, Palmer Amaranth, Western Waterhemp	Use locally most important species
Russian Thistle, Kochia, Lamb's Quarters	Use locally most important species If Russian thistle and Kochia both prevalent, use mixture
House dust mites
Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae	Use mixture if both locally important
Cockroach
German and American cockroach	Use mixture

* In regions of predominant birch pollination, birch AIT has been shown to adequately treat oak sensitization. However, studies are lacking to show that birch AIT is adequate to treat oak sensitization in regions of predominant oak pollination. Therefore oak AIT is still recommended in regions of oak predominance and AIT with both birch and oak is recommended in regions were both pollens are major contributors to the pollen burden.
