DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjab180

Abstract: Detection of Orientia tsutsugamushi DNA in a trombiculid mite chigger species suggests that it might be a potential vector of scrub typhus in an endemic area. Over a period of 20 mo, 85 rats were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjaf078

Abstract: Abstract Trombiculid mites (Acariformes) are unique among arthropods of medical importance in that only the larval instar (chigger) is parasitic, which can result in the transmission of zoonotic scrub typhus. The use of molecular approaches… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0193163

Abstract: Background Conventional gold standard characterization of chigger mites involves chemical preparation procedures (i.e. specimen clearing) for visualization of morphological features, which however contributes to destruction of the arthropod host DNA and any endosymbiont or pathogen… read more here.
