  • Title: The prevalence of scrub typhus antibodies in residents of West Malaysia.
    Author: Robinson DM, Gan E, Donaldson JR.
    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1976 Dec; 28(4):303-8. PubMed ID: 827831.
    Abstract:
    Based on the prevalence of antibody, an estimated 3% of the population of rural Malaysia is infected with Rickettsia tsutsugamushi each year, resulting in positive antibody rates in focal areas of 6 to 69%. Most of these infections do not appear to produce clinical scrub typhus. A wide range of seropositivity rates was found in areas otherwise resembling each other in predominant occupation, terrain, and nearby habitat. The prevalence rates however were significantly higher in people who worked in forested areas and significantly lower in people with urban occupations.
