Notes on Som'e Chiggers' (Acarina: Trombiculidae)

چکیده
THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNT is based upon specimens collected by members of the 207th Preventive Medicine Survey Detachment and the 37th Preventive Medicine Survey Detachment in southern Korea. It is undoubtedly incomplete, and the sampling may be selective: the hosts examined came mostly from agricultural areas and near dwellings. Despite the inevitable shortcomings of such a pre~ liminary survey, this account will serve as a beginning for a study of the trombiculid fauna of Korea. The' area covered by this paper is slightly beyond that discussed by Womersley (1952) in his voluminous work on chiggers of the Asiatic-Pacific area; and this account is, in a small measure,. a supplement to the much larger one by Womersley. Six species of chiggers were described from regions to the north of Korea by _Schluger (1948),' and two of those species"have been collected in southern Korea. Pertinent to this account is the apparently heretofo.ce largely overlooked paper

Molecular detection of Ehrlichia phagocytophila genogroup organisms in larvae of Neotrombicula autumnalis (Acari: Trombiculidae) captured in Spain.
Twenty unfed larvae of Neotrombicula autumnalis (Acari: Trombiculidae) collected on vegetation in the north of Spain were examined by polymerase chain reaction for Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.). rickettsiae, and the Ehrlichia phagocytophila genogroup. At least 10% of the larvae were found to contain granulocytic ehrlichiae. Because the larvae were unfed, they would necessarily have inherited the ...

Two commercial repellants were evaluated in the laboratory against Leptotrombidium fletcheri chiggers. The active ingredient in one was DEET and in the other was citrus oil. Excito-toxicity effect was studied and it was determined by the time ("escape time") chiggers took to move off filter papers treated with the repellants. All chiggers exposed on filter papers treated with DEET died and did ...
متن کاملEfficiency of Leptotrombidium chiggers (Acari: Trombiculidae) at transmitting Orientia tsutsugamushi to laboratory mice.
Thirteen different laboratory colonies of Leptotrombidim chiggers [L. chiangraiensis Tanskul & Linthicum, L. deliense Walch and L. imphalum (Vercammen-Grandjean &Langston)] were evaluated for their ability to transmit Orientia tsutsugamushi (Hyashi) to mice. Of 4,372 transmission attempts using individual chiggers from all 13 colonies, 75% (n = 3,275) successfully infected mice. Transmission ra...
