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 .
