Abstract:
Objective To investigate the breeding densities and the seasonal distribution of Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Acarus siro, Lepidoglyphus destructor, and Dermatophagoides farinae in Bengbu City, 4 common storage acaroid mites during Feb.2006-Jan.2007. Methods The samples were collected and isolated by Waterflotation and Tullgren, then counted and identified the four acaroid mites from 20 different habitats. Results 4 species of acaroid mites had high breeding density in ham, wheat, seed and house dust. The number of the mite increased from Apr. or May, and to the peak during July and Aug. and declined from Sep. or Oct.. Seasonal distribution of the individual acaroid mites might be different. Conclusion 4 species of acaroid mites are widely distributed in Bengbu city with distinctive seasonal distribution.
