Leptotrombidium deliense (Walch) is believed to be the most important vector of scrub typhus in China. From 2001-2019, a long-term investigation was made in 82 counties of southwestern China, covering five provincial divisions: Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Tibet and Chongqing. The results showed that L. deliense was not the most dominant chigger species in southwestern China. A total of 8,385 L. deliense were collected from 13 counties, which accounted for only 5.42% of all the identified chiggers (299 species with 154,665 individuals). Leptotrombidium deliense was mainly distributed in the low latitude (21-22 degrees N: 48.16%), low elevation (
