This review is dedicated to chigger mites (Trombiculidae) as vectors and reservoirs of infection in scrub typhus foci in South East Asia. Here we review biology, infection rates in natural and anthropurgic foci of scrub typhus.

We showed that parasitised and unparasitised garden skinks (Lampropholis guichenoti) did not differ in whole‐organism performance (endurance and foraging efficiency) or their thermal preference. However, sprint speed was negatively related to ectoparasite infection.

Abstract Despite reptile trypanosomes forming a large group, the majority of species descriptions are data deficient, lacking key characteristic data and supporting molecular data. Reptile hosts show potential to facilitate transmission of zoonotic trypanosomiases and offer key information to understanding the genus of Trypanosoma.

New records of chigger mites (Acariformes, Trombiculidae) from the Arabian Peninsula
First data on the chigger mites of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are obtained based on the material collected from alcohol-fixed specimens of the Arabian spiny mouse, Acomys dimidiatus (Cretzschmar), stored in a museum collection.

The study revealed significant yearly changes in ectoparasite infestation for (a) Haemaphysalis spp. (ticks), (b) Schoutendenichia microcebi (mites), (c) Lemurpediculus spp. (lice), and (d) ectoparasite species richness. Displayed is the proportion of ectoparasite occurrence (yes: in black, no: in gray, a–c) and the distribution of the ectoparasite ...

Abstract Background α‐Gal syndrome (AGS) is a food allergy with severe delayed allergic reactions, mediated by IgE‐reactivity to galactose‐α1,3‐galactose (α‐Gal). AGS is strongly associated with tick bites. An increased incidence of venom sensitization has been found in AGS patients. Here, we evaluated the frequency of wasp sensitization in Swedish AGS

In Vivo Observation of Trombiculosis with Fluorescence–Advanced Videodermatoscopy
Trombiculosis is a skin infestation by larvae of mites of the Trombiculidae family. We used fluorescence–advanced videodermatoscopy to diagnose trombiculosis in a woman in Italy with targetoid patches. This method might be useful for identifying atypical

Collections of chigger mites from murid rodents were performed in two bordering provinces of southwestern Saudi Arabia, Al Bahah and ‘Asir. A total of 561 chiggers belonging to 19 species were collected in 2020 and 2021 from 54 rodents of two species ...
