Abstract

Abstract. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalance and specieses of house  ust mite (HOM) in Kutahya (Turkey). The prevalanace of house dust mite (HOM) was found 18.05% and Tyrophagus putrescentiae (43.96%), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (31.03%), Acarus siro (13.79%), Lepidoglyphus destructor (1.72%), Glycphagus domesticus (2.58%) and Cheyletus spp. (1.72%) were identified. HOM was found between april and october and identified on high level between june and april. Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus was found on extreme level on august and Tyrophagus putrescentiae and Acarus siro on july. The number of collected HOM was high on july. The amount of HOM per gram was determined as 0.13.

KÜTAHYA'DA EV TOZU AKARLARI

Abstract

Bu arastirma Kiitahya'da ev tozu akarlannm prevalansim ve tiirlerini belirlemek icin yurutulmustur. Ev tozu akarlanrun prevalansi % 18.05 olarak bulunmus ve Tyrophagus putrescentiae (%43.96), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (%31.03), Acarus siro (%13.79), Lepidoglyphus destructor (%1.72), Clycphagus domesticus (%2.58) ve Cheyletus spp. (% 1.72) tiirleri tespit edilmistir. Nisan ve ekim aylan arasmda akarlara rastlannus, haziran ve eyltil arasmda ise akar bulunan ev sayisi ust seviyelerde tespit edilmistir. Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus agustosda, Tyrophagus putrescentiae ve Acarus siro ise temmuzda pik seviyede tespit edilrnistir. Akarlann en fazla bulundugu ay ise temmuz olarak belirlenrnistir. Bu arasnrrnada gram tozdaki akar sayisi ise 0.13 olarak tespit edilrnistir.
