Abstract
Domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) is a mammal from the Mustelidae family. It is the third most common uncaged pet in North America after dogs and cats. In Europe, its popularity is progressively increasing, and it is also becoming a common pet. The role of cats and dogs as a cause of allergy is well known. However, ferrets are not so widely studied as a source of relevant allergens.
