Estimating scrub typhus and murine typhus incidence among adolescents and adults in Yangon, Myanmar

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 9, Page 978-986, September 2025.
Abstract Objectives Rickettsioses are frequent causes of treatable febrile illness in Southeast Asia, including Myanmar. Accurate estimates of the incidence of rickettsioses are needed to inform investments in disease prevention and control. We sought to estimate the incidence of rickettsioses among adults and adolescents by combining sentinel hospital
