Qualitative and semi-quantitative microscopic analyses were performed on the mite populations in dust samples collected from the byres and hay and grain storages of 11 farms in Eastern Finland. Storage mites were found in all farms. The mite fauna was more abundant in the byres and hay storages than in the grain storages. The most common species or genera were Acarus siro, Acarus farris, Glycyphagus domesticus, Lepidoglyphus destructor, Cheyletus eruditus, Tydeus spp., and Tarsonemus spp. The results imply that also in northern climates storage mites should be considered as possible causes of allergic disorders among farming populations.
对从芬兰东部11个农场的牛舍、干草和谷物储存处采集的灰尘样本中的螨虫种群进行了定性和半定量显微镜分析。在所有农场都发现了储存螨。牛舍和干草储存处的螨类动物比谷物储存处更为丰富。最常见的种类或属是粗脚粉螨、法氏粉螨、家甜食螨、嗜卷书虱、肉食螨、跗线螨属和小跗线螨属。结果表明,即使在北方气候条件下,储存螨也应被视为农业人口中过敏性疾病的可能病因。
