Обзор посвящен краснотелковым клещам семейства Trombiculidae как переносчикам и резервуарам инфекции в очагах лихорадки цуцугамуши в Юго-Восточной Азии. Приведены сведения об особенностях биологии клещей, проанализированы данные литературы по зараженности тромбикулид Orientia tsutsugamushi в природных и антропургических очагах. Обобщены сведения о способности личинок тромбикулид воспринимать возбудителя при питании на инфицированном животном, сохранять его и передавать при питании животномурецепиенту. 

This review is dedicated to chigger mites (Trombiculidae) as vectors and reservoirs of infection in scrub typhus foci in South East Asia. Here we review biology, infection rates in natural and anthropurgic foci of scrub typhus. Vector competence of chigger mite species were summarized.
