An epidemiological study in a mature oil palm estate in Peninsular Malaysia has demonstrated a low prevalence of R. tsutsugamushi infection in small mammals. The direct fluorescent antibody technique for assaying infections in chiggers proved more sensitive than mouse inoculation. Most infections in both chiggers and rodents were caused by the Karp strain.
在马来西亚半岛一个成熟的油棕种植园进行的一项流行病学研究表明,小型哺乳动物中恙虫病东方体感染率较低。用于检测恙螨感染的直接荧光抗体技术比小鼠接种法更敏感。恙螨和啮齿动物中的大多数感染是由Karp株引起的。
