Abstract:
Objective To investigate the Suidasia nesbitti breeding status in the ground dust flour collected in Qiqihaer City. Methods Totally,16 aliquots of ground dust flour were respectively collected from a college canteen and 15 households in Qiq-ihaer City. Then 10 g dust flour was taken from individual sample for isolation of the mites that were made of slide specimen,and the mites were identified and classified under a microscope. Results Acaroid mites were found in 15 of the 16 aliquots of sam-ples(detection rate being 93.8%),and 7 species,belonging to 6 genera under 3 families,were identified. A total of 561 heads of mites were isolated from 160 g samples,with an average breeding density of 3.51 heads/g. The most breeding mite was associ-ated with S. nesbitti. Conclusions Various species of mites are breeding in the ground dust flour in Qiqihaer City,and S. nesbit-ti occurs the most. These findings indicate that effective measures should be taken to prevent and control the harm associated with acaroid mite contamination.
