摘要

House dust mites (HDM) are one of the major causes of allergic diseases all over the world as well as in India. However, there is limited information on HDM diversity and abundance in the human dwellings of coal mining areas of India. Therefore, the objective of this study was to document the species richness, diversity, and abundance of HDM in the coal mining areas of Dhanabad, India in three dominant types of human dwellings. Pyroglyphidae family (36%) occupied the highest percentage among the isolated mites, followed by the Glycyphagidae (24–28%) family. The study, based on weekly sampling for two consecutive years, found significant differences in the house dust mites density and dust mite species composition among three types of houses. Thirteen dust mite species were identified including 8 species that were common in all types of houses. Three principal HDM, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus was abundantly present in all the houses, Dermatophagoides farinae was very poor (0–9%), and Euroglyphus maynei was not found in any of the samples. The study recorded a higher abundance of Dermanyssus gallinae (poultry red mite), which is very rarely reported in the house dust samples.
