Acaroid mite breeding in ground rice in Wenchang area / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To investigate the breeding of acaroid mites in the stored grains in Wenchang area,Hainan Province,China.Methods The breeding mites from the samples were separated by a shake-sieve and microscope directly.The isolations were used for slide preparation based on previous literature,and then under a light microscope,the identification and counting of the acaroid mites were performed.Results Twelve species of mites were identified from 20 categories of grains.They be-longed to 10 genera of 4 families.Among the 12 grain samples,the breeding rates were higher of Blomia tropicalis and Tyropha-gus putrescentiae.Among the 20 samples collected,a total of 5 885 mites were found,with an average breeding density of 29.43/g.Conclusion The infestation of acaroid mites appears serious in the stored grains in Wenchang area,which should be taken measures to prevent and control.

Investigation and morphological observation of Suidasia breeding in flour-mills in Huaibei / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To investigate the Suidasia breeding in the flourmill and further observe its morphological characteris-tics.Methods The samples were collected from different habitats of a flourmill and then separated,and the chipping was kept. The mites were selected and counted from the chipping under an optical microscope. The mites were made slide samples and identified.Results The mites were identified as Suidasia(including Suidasia nesbitti and Suidasia medanensis).A total of 20 samples were collected in this study,of which 13 were positively detected,with the detection rate of 65%.There were 2 876 mites of Suidasia that were detected from 200 g sample.The average breeding density was 14.38/g.Conclusions It is common that Suidasia breeding in flour,which might cause human acariasis and allergic asthma.Therefore,the effective prevention mea-sures should be taken.

Investigation and morphological observation of Histiostoma feroniarum breeding in Chinese herbal medicine Rhizoma Zingiberis / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To understand the breeding situation of Histiostoma feroniarum in Chinese herbal medicine Rhizoma Zingiberis. Methods The Rhizoma Zingiberis sold on the market was selected and brushed. The dust from Rhizoma Zingiberis was screened under a microscope to search the mites. The mites were made into specimens to identify the species. Results The mites were H. feroniarum. Totally 14 mites were found in 100 g dust sample,with the density of breeding of 0.14/g. Conclusion H. feroniarum could breed in Chinese herbal medicine Rhizoma Zingiberis,and the prevention and control measures should be adopted.

Preliminary investigation of Suidasia nesbitti breeding status in ground dust flour in Qiqihaer City / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

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.

Gohieria fuscus breeding heavily in grand dust flour of a flourmill / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To investigate the breeding quantity and average breeding density of Gohieria fuscus in the grand dust flour of a flourmill and explore the prevention and control measures. Methods A certain amount of grand dust flour was collect-ed from a flourmill,and it was sieved. The powder was placed into the glass pan,and the mites were sought out under an optical microscope and made of specimens. The mites were identified on the basis of literature. Results In this survey,400 g samples were collected from 4 habitats. The average breeding density of mites was 3516/g. The mite was identified as Gohieria fuscus. Conclusions Gohieria fuscus is one of the widely distributed stored mites. It impacts the stored food and reduces the quality of food. In addition,the mite affects human health. Therefore,the preventive measures should be taken.
