Abstract

Globally Ambrosia species (Asteraceae), commonly called ragweed, are recognized to be one of the most problematic groups of invasive weeds and one of the main allergenic genus. Climate and land-use change and air pollution are expected to promote ragweed spread, increase airborne ragweed pollen concentrations (the source of allergens), extend the pollen season, and promote longdistance transport of pollen or sub-pollen particles containing allergens. The allergenicity of pollen itself is going to increase. Likely, all these factors will have meaningful effects in the exacerbation of the sensitization to ragweed pollen and the severity of allergy symptoms. Globally the major health concern regards A. artemisiifolia, because of its very wide global distribution and highly invasive behavior. Together with A. artemisiifolia, also A. trifida and A. psilostachya are species of health concern distributed across different continents, widespread and invasive in several regions. The present review summarizes the characteristics of these species and gives an overview of factors contributing to their allergenicity.
