Larval chigger mites collected from small mammals in 3 provinces, Korea.
[scrub typhus]
A
total
of
9
,
281
larval
chigger
mites
were
collected
from
small
mammals
captured
at
Hwaseong-gun
,
Gyeonggi-
do
(
Province
)
(
2
,
754
mites
from
30
small
mammals
)
,
Asan
city
,
Chungcheongnam-
do
(
3
,
358
mites
from
48
mammals
)
,
and
Jangseong-gun
,
Jeollanam-
do
(
3
,
169
for
62
mammals
)
from
April
-
November
2009
in
the
Republic
of
Korea
(
=
Korea
)
and
were
identified
to
species
.
Leptotrombidium
pallidum
was
the
predominant
species
in
Hwaseong
(
95
.
8
%
)
and
Asan
(
61
.
2
%
)
,
while
Leptotrombidium
scutellare
was
the
predominant
species
collected
from
Jangseong
(
80
.
1
%
)
.
Overall
,
larval
chigger
mite
indices
decreased
from
April
(
27
.
3
)
to
June
(
4
.
9
)
,
then
increased
in
September
(
95
.
2
)
and
to
a
high
level
in
November
(
169
.
3
)
.
These
data
suggest
that
L
.
pallidum
and
L
.
scutellare
are
the
primary
vectors
of
scrub
typhus
throughout
their
range
in
Korea
.
While
other
species
of
larval
chigger
mites
were
also
collected
with
some
implications
in
the
transmission
of
Orientia
tsutsugamushi
,
they
only
accounted
for
11
.
2
%
of
all
larval
chigger
mites
collected
from
small
mammals
.
