STUDY OF ACAROID MITES POLLUTION IN STORED FRUIT-DERIVED CHINESE MEDICINAL MATERIALS.
2015
Objective: to investigate the species and breeding density
of acaroid mites in stored fruit-derived Chinese medicinal
materials in Anhui province.
Methods: samples of stored fruit-derived Chinese medicinal
materials were collected from 30 herb stores and
storehouses in 17 Anhui cities, where the breeding acaroids
mites were detected.
Results: 20 species of acaroids mites were found in 33
samples, belonging to 15 genus, 5 families of the acaridae
respectively, among which T. putrescentiae, A. farinae,
C. lactis, and C. berlesei are predominant species.
Conclusion: stored fruit-derived Chinese medicinal
materials in Anhui areas suffer from serious acaroid mites
pollution. Therefore, proactive measures should be
taken to control acaroid mites from breeding in an effort
to reduce the harm on medicinal materials.
