Abstract
A technique for feeding larval trombiculid mites in capsules on laboratory mice is described. The technique has been used principally to feed Leptotrombidium (Leptotrombidium) akamushi and L.(L.) deliense larvae in the maintenance of laboratory colonies for study of the transovarial development of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus.Keywords
