On the Penghu Islands and Taitung of Taiwan, the only trombiculid mite belonging to the subgenus Leptotrombidium collected from rodents and insectivores was L. (L.) deliense, the potential vector of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi in the Asia-Pacific region south of Japan. On the other hand, on Mt. Alishan three species of the subgenus Leptotrombidium including L. (L.) kawamurai were collected from rodents, suggesting that the reservoirs of R. tsutsugamushi may be in this highland. On Okinawa Island, Japan, the trombiculid mite was not collected from rodents and insectivores in the present survey., 論文}, pages = {235--246}, title = {Surveys on vector mites of Tsutsugamushi disease in Taiwan and Ryukyu Islands}, volume = {41}, year = {1990} }
