Identification of 'Rickettsia Tsutsugamushi' in the Life Stages of 'Leptotrombidium Fletcheri' with Isolation and Immunofluorescence Techniques.

摘要

Experiments were conducted over a 6-year period to examine transstadial transmission of Rickettsiae in Leptotrombidium mites and to determine in what organs the rickettsiae were distributed in each developmental stage. Mites from a colony of L. fletcheri were used.
