To investigate the species of Acaroid mites breeding in the stored traditional Chinese animal medicinal materials and the relationship between its community and habitats.
A total of 30 samples of traditional Chinese animal medicinal herbs were collected from Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China. The mites were isolated by the directly microscopic and floatation microscopic examinations, and then identified and counted under a light microscope.
Acaroid mites was represented in 28 of the 30 samples, and the breeding rate accounted for as high as 93.3% (28/30). Totally, 13 species of Acaroid mites were identified, which belonged to 4 families and 9 genera. The densities of Acaroid mites were top in 6 Chinese herbal medicines, such as corium erinacei, aspongopus, hirudo, pheretima aspergillum, Apostichopus and huechys. The diversity parameters of these six traditional Chinese animal medicinal herbs were calculated. The highest richness indexes were in aspongopus and hirudo, the highest diversity index was in hirudo, and the highest evenness index was in Apostichopus.
There are Acaroid mites breeding in parts of the traditional Chinese animal medicinal herbs stored in Wuhu. In the storage and processing of Chinese herbal medicines, we should pay attention to the prevention and control of mites.
调查储藏的动物类中药材中粉螨孳生种类及其群落与栖息环境的关系。
从中国安徽省芜湖市采集30份动物类中药材样本。通过直接镜检法和漂浮镜检法分离螨类，然后在光学显微镜下进行鉴定和计数。
30份样本中有28份检出粉螨，孳生率高达93.3%（28/30）。共鉴定出粉螨13种，隶属于4科9属。粉螨密度在刺猬皮、九香虫、水蛭、广地龙、海参、褐边绿刺蛾等6种中药材中最高。计算了这6种动物类中药材的多样性参数。丰富度指数最高的是九香虫和水蛭，多样性指数最高的是水蛭，均匀度指数最高的是海参。
芜湖市储藏的部分动物类中药材中有粉螨孳生。在中药材的储存和加工过程中，应注意螨类的防治。
