Abstract:

Objective To investigate the breeding of acaroid mites in the stored food in Taiwan Province， China. Methods The breeding mites from samples selected from the markets in Hsinchu City， Taiwan Province were separated under a microscope. The isolations were used for slide preparation， then observed and identified under a microscope. Results Among the 39 species samples， 13 species of acaroid mites were isolated from the samples. They belonged to 11 genera of 6 families. They were Acarus siro， Tyrophagus putrescentiae， Tyrophagus longior， Aleuroglyphus ovatus， Caloglyphus berlesei， Suidasia nesbitti， Lardoglyphus konoi， Lepidoglyphus destructor， Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus， Chortoglyphus arcuatus， Carpoglyphus lactis， Dermatophagoides farina and Gohieria fuscus. Conclusions There are acaroid mites breeding in the commercial food in Hsinchu City， Taiwan Province， China. Therefore， relevant measures should be taken to control the breeding of acaroid mites.
