Abstract
The prevalence of tsutsugamushi disease in certain localities involves many unexplained factors. There are many ways to obtain a good comprehension of this%prob1em, one being to study the relation between vector%animals carry- ing infection and prevalence of%the disease. Scientists have done a great deal to determine the vector animals carrying this infection. In this country Echinja vectors have been established to be Trombicula akamushi var. deliensis in Cant on, and Trombicula akamushi in Formosa, while in other areas in the world such as Sumatra, India, Ceylon, Java, Phillip- ines, the Solomon Islands, and Australia, the vectors' have been establis1%ed to be Trombicula akamushi var. deliensis. And in some other areas as Japan and the fliilippine Islands, Trombicula akamushi is' found to be the vector. In the %yPennsuia, Burma, and New Guinea, however, both Trombicula akamushi var. deliensis and Trombicula akamushi are found to be vectors. %%ngfrom reports presented in literature from this nation and abroad, Trombicula akamushi var. deliensis and Trombicula akaml%shi are undoubted con firmed vectors responsible for tsutsugamushi in every area in the world and are the important ones. - - - S.
