| transmission of rickettsia orientalis to man by leptotrombidium akamushi at a scrub typhus endemic area in akita prefecture, japan. | during the summer seasons of 1956 through 1970, 93 larval trombiculid mites were removed from 386 individuals who had been bitten by chiggers in jumonji, akita prefecture. all 87 larvae that were available for examination were identified as leptotrombidium akamushi. infestation of man occurred predominantly during july and august, but the period extended from june to november. the duration of attachment was approximately 1 to 3 days. usually only 1 chigger was found on a victim but on occasion a ... | 1974 | 4451238 |

| scrub typhus in the eastern solomon islands and northern vanuatu (new hebrides). | rickettsia tsutsugmushi has been isolated from rattus rattus from vanua lava island in northern vanuatu (new hebrides) and from r. exulans and leptotrombidium akamushi on ndende island in the eastern solomon islands. the well-known vector mite l. deliense was found on mota lava and vanua lava in vanuatu, but no isolation was made from pools of this mite. serology confirms that r. tsutsugamushi infects humans in the banks group of islands in northern vanuatu and that infection is much more widesp ... | 1981 | 6789693 |
| seasonal development of leptotrombidium akamushi (acari: trombiculidae) under field temperatures. | engorged larvae of leptotrombidium akamushi (brumpt), a vector of scrub typhus, were reared in small plastic containers placed on the ground and fed fresh eggs of the collembolan sinella curviseta brook. engorged larvae obtained in october developed into deutonymphs through protonymphs approximately 1 mo before winter and became dormant in the cold winter season (approximately 3 mo). most deutonymphs developed into tritonymphs in april and adults in may. females began laying eggs in mid-june and ... | 1995 | 8551507 |
| current epidemiology and treatment of tsutsugamushi disease in japan. | background: the classical manifestation of tsutsugamushi disease was attributable to leptotrombidium akamushi; the peak incidence occurred in august. now, for reasons unknown, the disease has peak incidences in may and november, the new vectors being l. pallidum and l. scutellare, respectively. methods: epidemiologic data on tsutsugamushi disease occurring in japan over a period of 44 years (1950-1993) are analyzed. results: the number of cases gradually declined from 116 in 1950 to three in 196 ... | 1995 | 9815394 |
