Variation in Small Mammal Species Composition and the Occurrence of Parasitic Mites in Two Landscapes in a Scrub Typhus Endemic Region of Western Yunnan Province, China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Yunnan Province, the most serious scrub typhus endemic areas in China, provides abundant ecological resources that sustain parasite and host populations. The distribution of vector‐borne diseases is driven by interactions between hosts, vectors and the environment, revealing critical ecological dynamics.

Broad-coverage molecular epidemiology of Orientia tsutsugamushi in Thailand [PDF]

open access: yesInfection, Genetics and Evolution, 2013
Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligate intracellular bacterium closely related to the genus Rickettsia, is the causative agent of scrub typhus, a major cause of febrile illness in rural areas of Asia-Pacific region. Scrub typhus is transmitted by the bite of infected mites of the genus Leptotrombidium.

The Endosymbiont Consortia of Two Cixiidae Planthoppers Reveal an Ancient Symbiosis With ‘Candidatus Mirabilia Symbiotica’

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Many insects harbour ancient beneficial endosymbionts that produce essential nutrients. Two planthopper species from the Cixiidae family harbour different tripartite endosymbiont consortia, including a previously unknown and likely ancient Gammaproteobacterium in addition to Karelsulcia and Vidania.

Current and Future Projection of Scrub Typhus Risk Related to Land Use Change in China

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The widespread concern surrounding the enhanced spillover risk of infectious diseases due to dramatic global land use changes has sparked significant discussion. However, the specific implications of these changes on scrub typhus, a vector‐borne infectious disease facing increasing incidence and substantial expansion, remain unclear.

Prevalence and risk factors for murine typhus, scrub typhus and spotted fever group rickettsioses among adolescent and adult patients presenting to Yangon General Hospital, Yangon, Myanmar

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 9, Page 966-977, September 2025.
Abstract Objectives To inform patient management and disease prevention, we sought to estimate the prevalence of, and identify risk factors for, scrub typhus, murine typhus, and spotted fever group rickettsioses (SFGR) among febrile patients presenting to hospital in Myanmar.

Diagnosis of severe scrub typhus infection by next-generation sequencing:a case report

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness, which was caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi and transmitted through the bite of chiggers. The diagnosis of scrub typhus could be missed diagnosis due to the absence of the pathognomonic eschar.

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

open access: yesTropical 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
