Abstract

Eighteen hundred samples of Traditional Chinese medicinal materials from a traditional medical storehouse in Huainan City, Anhui Province, China were collected and examined for mites. The results indicated 87% (1566/1800) of samples were infested with 47 species of mites belonging to 25 genera and 7 families. It is concluded that Traditional Chinese medicinal materials are severely contaminated and much more importance should be given to the protection of stored products and to the prevention of human acariasis.
