Comparative study of the clinical manifestations and pathophysiology of leptospirosis and scrub typhus
… to determine the prevalence of leptospirosis and scrub typhus in northeast Thailand, and to compare and contrast their clinical features and outcomes. Leptospirosis and scrub typhus accounted for 45% of acute febrile illness in 1249 prospectively studied patients presenting to Udon Thani hospital …

Scrub typhus: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention and Control in the Asia-Pacific Area and Worldwide
… effective measures to control and even eradicate scrub typhus and other related infectious diseases. Scrub typhus is a serious public health problem in the Asia-Pacific area. It threatens one billion people globally, and causes illness in one million people each year. It can cause severe …

Establishment and Improvement of Preclinical Murine Models of Severe Scrub Typhus to Define Immune Signatures and Pathogenic Mechanisms
Scrub typhus is a leading source of febrile illness in endemic countries due to infection with Orientia tsutsugamushi (Ot), a seriously understudied intracellular bacterium. Scrub typhus causes 150,000 deaths per year, with an estimated 1 million cases, and a further 1 billion people at risk. No …

Development of a Murine Model of Severe Scrub Typhus And Its Use to Elucidate the Immune Response to and The Pathology that Occurs during Orientia Tsutsugamushi Infection.
Scrub typhus is an often lethal infection that threatens one billion persons globally and causes illness in one million people annually. There is no vaccine for scrub typhus, and the mechanisms of protective immunity are poorly understood. Scrub typhus is a disseminated infection of endothelial …

Dysregulated TFH cell and germinal center activation in mice with severe Orientia tsutsugamushi infection
Scrub typhus is a severely understudied tropical disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. It is endemic in, but not limited to, the Asia-Pacific region, with about one million cases reported every year. Its high case fatality rates and impact during WWII and the Vietnam War justify vaccine …

Evaluations of Diagnostic Tests for Undifferentiated Febrile Illness on the Thailand-Myanmar (Burma) Border
… were dengue, 6.0% leptospirosis, 6.0% murine typhus, and 3.2% scrub typhus. Co-infection was found in 1.7% with mostly leptospirosis and scrub typhus (1.5%). In malaria patients, co-infection was found in 8.3% in most cases with scrub typhus (7.4%). An immunochromatographic test (ICT) …

Pulmonary vascular malfunction and inflammation during Orientia tsutsugamushi infection
Scrub typhus is a potentially lethal illness caused by infection with the bacterium, Orientia tsutsugamushi. Scrub typhus remains a neglected tropical disease, despite being a tremendous burden in endemic areas. Lung injury is one of the most common pathologies that arise from severe cases of scrub …

Role of Mincle in Immune Responses to Orientia tsutsugamushi infection
Scrub typhus is a major public health concern for more than one billion people living in or travelling to endemic countries. The causative agent of scrub typhus, Orientia tsutsugamushi, is an obligate intracellular bacterium transmitted via bite of the Leptotrombidium mite (chigger). O. …

Health impacts of climate change in the older population
… Disease Control (KCDC) between 2001 and 2009. Scrub typhus turned out to be the most affected vector-borne disease. Water and food-borne infectious diseases did not show relatively huge impacts on the health of the elderly. The rate ratio of the elderly was 8.8 times higher for leptospirosis, …

The differentiation of non-louse-borne fevers of the typhus group occurring in the United Provinces, India
This thesis is that the non- epidemic cases of typhus fever which occur sporadically in the Unite:]. 'rovinces, India, do not constitute a single disease entity. In a series of twenty cases analysed six can be classified in the scrub typhus-tsutsugamushi disease group. Four of these were cases of …

Elucidation of Mechanisms of Host Immunity against Orientia tsutsugamushi in a Newly Developed Murine Model
Scrub typhus, caused by a Gram-negative obligately intracellular coccobacillus, Orientia tsutsugamushi, is a long neglected but important tropical disease. Orientia tsutsugamushi causes illness in one million people each year, with an additional 1 billion people at risk. Without appropriate …
