Vertebrates in general harbor a wide variety of parasitic arthropods that, in addition to the damage caused by feeding, can transmit pathogens to their hosts. One of these groups of arthropods are the chiggers (Trombiculidae s.l.) which, during parasitism, can cause a skin reaction in the host, known as trombiculiasis. Consequently, some species in this family are vectors of Orientia, a h…
Chigger mites are the common name of the larval stage of mites in the family Trombiculidae s. l. that parasitic vertebrates and during parasitism, can cause a skin reaction in the host, known as trombiculiasis. In Brazil, 69 species are known and in many of them are one only record for locality and the host. In Asia-Pacific region, some species of chiggers are vectors of tsutsugamushi, a …
Chiggers is the popular name for the larval stage of mites of the family Trombiculidae s. l. These mites parasitize vertebrates and can cause a skin reaction in their host, known as trombiculiasis. In Brazil, 69 species are known; for many of them, there is only a single record of location and host. In the Asia-Pacific region, some species of this family are vectors of tsutsugamushi, a hu…
The mite fauna associated with small mammals in Brazil is poorly studied in terms of taxonomy, systematics and host-parasite association. The Trombiculidae family stands out in terms of parasitism in these animals and their possible importance as potential vectors of pathogens. Trombiculid mites have approximately 70 species recorded in Brazil, and just over half have been detected in rod…
The Trombiculidae family is one of the most important families in medical and veterinary medicine. These mites have about 70 species recorded in Brazil. The larval stage of this family is parasitic on any terrestrial vertebrate, causing deep and pruritic lesions at the site of the bite, caused by intense skin reactions in the host. Due to parasitism, the importance of these mites as poten…
Chigger is the popular name for the larval stage of mites in the family Trombiculidae s. l., which parasitize vertebrates and can cause a skin reaction in the host, known as trombiculiasis. In Brazil, only 74 species are known, and for many of them, there is only a single record of locality and host. In the Asia-Pacific region, some species of this family are vectors of Tsutsugamushi or r…

Some groups of mites are parasites of wild mammals and are kept in captivity. The species of mites considered ectoparasites are those of medical and veterinary importance. In this context, the mites of the Myobiidae Mégnin family (Trombidiformes), popularly known as fur mites, are included. These mites feed on the lymph and tissues of their host, and their parasite specificity is well def…

Chigger is the popular name for the larval stage of mites from the Trombiculidae s. l. family, which parasitize vertebrates and can cause a cutaneous reaction in the host, known as trombiculiasis. In the Asia-Pacific region, some species of this family are vectors of Tsutsugamushi, a human rickettsiosis caused by the bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi, which was believed to be restricted to…
