3 Οκτ 2014 · The disease is transmitted to humans by chiggers of Leptotrombidium spp. and is caused by the bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi. Noteworthy are the reported cases that suggest other Orientia species as etiological agents of scrub typhus-like disease.
2 Δεκ 2015 · The outcomes from the studies of chigger taxonomy and the ecology of host-chigger interactions, as well as the composition of the microbiome in chiggers, are of key importance to the chigger research field, providing essential information for disease epidemiology with vector control implications.
17 Νοε 2022 · Abstract. Chiggers are the larval stage of Trombiculidae and Leeuwenhoekiidae mites of medical and veterinary importance. Some species in the genus Leptotrombidium and Herpetacarus vector Orientia species, the bacteria that causes scrub typhus disease in humans. Scrub typhus is a life-threatening, febrile disease.
17 Νοε 2022 · Scrub typhus is a life-threatening, febrile disease. Chigger bites can also cause dermatitis. There were 248 chigger species reported from the US from almost every state.
2 Ιουν 2023 · ‘Chiggers’ (trombiculid mite larvae) are best known as vectors of rickettsial pathogens, Orientia spp., which cause a zoonosis, scrub typhus.
1 Ιουν 2023 · Among human disease vectors, chiggers are unusual for two key reasons. First, they do not feed on blood. Chiggers use a unique mode of feeding in which a straw-like structure called the stylostome is produced by secreted substances only after the chigger has attached to the host (Figure 1B).
5 Δεκ 2019 · We show that chigger species richness is influenced by mammalian host status, climatic factors and land use; whereas chigger species and geographic region, although not habitat type, significantly affect the β-diversity of chigger microbiomes.
