On the abundance ofDermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trouessart, 1897) (Pyroglyphidae: Acarina) in house dust
Tóm tắt
The dominance of the Pyroglyphidae in house dust has been influenced by a number of factors. The humidity in houses dropped recently to such an extent that only Pyroglyphidae can survive. When temperature and relative humidity are favorable forAcarus siro andGlycyphagus destructor as well asDermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides diminished in numbers by competition. Introduction of the predatorCheyletus eruditus into this mixed breeds causes the extermination ofDermatophagoides. The vacuum cleaner trapped mites, butDermatophagoides was protected by its habit to hide in cracks and crevices. The use of insecticides has a more killing effect onAcarus andGlycyphagus than onDermatophagoides.
