Establishment of a Rhesus Macaque Model for Scrub Typhus Transmission: Pilot Study to Evaluate the Minimal <i>Orientia tsutsugamushi</i> Transmission Time by <i>Leptotrombidium</i> <i>chiangraiensis</i> Chiggers

Recently, an intradermal inoculation of the rhesus macaque model of scrub typhus has been characterized at our institution. The current project was to establish a rhesus macaque model of scrub typhus using the naturally infected chigger challenge method that faithfully mimics the natural route of pa...
