Mapping Environmental Suitability of Scrub Typhus in Nepal Using MaxEnt and Random Forest Models

Scrub Typhus in Nepal

Scrub typhus is a rickettsial disease, reported from many Asian countries including Nepal [1]. It is a zoonotic disease transmitted by the blood sucking larva (chigger) of the arthropod, mite. The causative agent of this disease, that is transmitted through the bite of the chigger is Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligate intracellular organism. Though there are recent reports of this infection, n...

Scrub-typhus.

Scrub typhus is an important emerging tropical infection that can have severe manifestations in children leading to intensive care admission. It is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, a gram negative bacterium transmitted to humans by the bite of larval trombiculid mites. The organism is endemic in south-east Asia and the disease is reported from virtually all parts of India. The hallmark of this...
