Resumo em Inglês
From August 1999 to January 2000, samples of house dust were collected from 160 domiciles in the
city of Juiz de Fora, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. In 36 of these domiciles kitchen samples were
obtained. Prevalence rate was 77.5%, varying according to the geographical sector. There were found
2,278 specimens of mites, with 1,530 (67.2%) in the adult stage and 748 (32.8%) in immature forms.
The main species found were Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, D. farinae, Euroglyphus maynei, Blomia
tropicalis and Tyrophagus putrescentiae. In a minor incidence we found Lepidoglyphus destructor,
Suidasia pontificiae, Chortoglyphus arcuatus, Cheyletus malaccensis, C. fortis, Ker bakeri, Cheletonella
vespertilionis, C. caucasica and others. C. vespertilionis and C. caucasica were identified for the first
time in the domiciliary ecosystem and in Brazil. The abundance rate and the infestation intensity were
analyzed. There was a varied correlation between climatic conditions and positive domiciles and
number of mites. The difference between the number of positive domiciles in the urban area and in the
expanding urban area was significant and so was the difference between samples from the domiciles
compared to those from the kitchens.
