Bayesian spatial modelling and the significance of agricultural land use to scrub typhus infection in Taiwan [PDF]
, 2013 Scrub typhus is transmitted by the larval stage of trombiculid mites. Environmental factors, including land cover and land use, are known to influence breeding and survival of trombiculid mites and, thus, also the spatial heterogeneity of scrub typhus ...

Fleas of small mammals on Reunion Island: diversity, distribution and epidemiological consequences.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 The diversity and geographical distribution of fleas parasitizing small mammals have been poorly investigated on Indian Ocean islands with the exception of Madagascar where endemic plague has stimulated extensive research on these arthropod vectors.

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...
