L. (L.) deliense was the predominant vector of scrub typhus in a mature oil palm estate, but a small number of L. (L.) fletcheri (0.1% from rodents) and L. (L.) vivericola (0.02% from rodents and 8.0% from black plates) was also collected. Although good correlation between L. (L.) deliense collected from rodents and from black plates was not established, either method may serve as a general indicator of population fluctuations over a period of time. For the most part, the vectors of scrub typhus were limited to litter piles, and thus, the possibility of contracting scrub typhus within this type of habitat was minimal.
在一个成熟的油棕种植园中，地里纤恙螨是恙虫病的主要传播媒介，但也采集到了少量的弗氏纤恙螨（占啮齿动物样本的0.1%）和马来纤恙螨（占啮齿动物样本的0.02%，占黑板样本的8.0%）。尽管未证实从啮齿动物和黑板采集到的地里纤恙螨之间存在良好的相关性，但这两种方法都可作为一段时间内种群波动的一般指标。在很大程度上，恙虫病的传播媒介局限于落叶堆，因此，在这类栖息地感染恙虫病的可能性极小。
