RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the breeding of Carpoglyphus lactis in the storage Arillus longan,so as to provide the evidence for preventing the harm of C. lactis to traditional Chinese medicine. Methods Chinese herbal medicine warehouses were chosen as survey sites according to the breeding habits of mites,and the A. longan samples were stored more than 6 months. The mites were isolated and identified under a microscope. Result The C. lactis breeding rate was 20.0％(4/20)and the breeding density was 184.95 per sample. The constitute rates of adult,larva,dormancy body and egg were 58.39％, 30.41％,0.06％,and 11.14％respectively. Conclusion The breeding density of C. lactis is high in the stored A. longan,so the control and prevention of human intestinal acariasis should be strengthened.
