The enzyme spectrum of an ectoparasitic mite of the honeybee. Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) was studied using a semi-quantitative method, especially designed for complex samples which have not been purified. Exopeptidases and phosphatases are shown present. A chitinase and enzymes able to transform beta carbohydrates are also present with a large range in the intensity of the reaction. The role of the chitinase can be related to the supply of nutritional needs or/and the piercing and sucking behaviour of the adult parasite. Chitinase activity could be one factor influencing the balance between the parasite and its host.
采用一种专门为未纯化的复杂样品设计的半定量方法，对蜜蜂外寄生螨——狄斯瓦螨（Anderson和Trueman）的酶谱进行了研究。结果表明存在外肽酶和磷酸酶。还存在一种几丁质酶以及能够转化β碳水化合物的酶，反应强度范围很大。几丁质酶的作用可能与满足营养需求或/和成年寄生虫的刺吸行为有关。几丁质酶活性可能是影响寄生虫与其宿主之间平衡的一个因素。
