Abstract: According to the physiological characters of dermatophagoides farinae,a new method for testing the repellent effect of anti-mite fabrics is proposed,which adopts individual cultivation of each sample in the culture dish with a cover closed,thus avoiding mutual interference between the sample and the control.The new method is used to test the repellent effect of a few kinds of antimite fabric,and the results are compared with that by the conventional method.It is proven that the new method is characterized by good reproducibility,fast and convenient,and more accuracy.
