Chigger mites of the genus Leptotrombidium (Acari: Trombiculidae) transmit scrub typhus, caused by Rickettsia tsutsugamushi (= R.orientalis) in South-East Asia. In China, eighty-two species of Leptotrombidium have been recorded; these are listed with the names of Provinces where they were found. Five species, L.deliense, L.insularae, L.kaohuense, L.rubellum and L.scutellare, have been implicated as Chinese vectors of scrub typhus. A brief key is given to the larvae of all but three of the Leptotrombidium mites known in China.
纤恙螨属（蜱螨亚纲：恙螨科）的恙螨在东南亚传播由恙虫病东方体（= 东方立克次氏体）引起的恙虫病。在中国，已记录到82种纤恙螨；文中列出了发现这些螨类的省份名称。已证实地里纤恙螨、岛屿纤恙螨、高雄纤恙螨、微红纤恙螨和盾纤恙螨这5个物种为中国恙虫病的传播媒介。文中给出了一个简易检索表，用于鉴别中国已知的除3种之外的所有纤恙螨幼虫。
