仅在亚洲发现的人类立克次体病是螨传（丛林）斑疹伤寒，由恙虫病立克次体引起。日本南部特有一种鲜为人知的人类单核细胞增多症样疾病，由森涅茨立克次体引起。 1981 年和 1982 年，日本螨传斑疹伤寒病例数在几年几乎消失后显着回升。最近对 sennetsu 的研究已将其重新分类为埃利希体属，迄今为止，该属的成员仅是动物的病原体。马来西亚和其他地方的生态调查的历史背景，这两项发展为未来的研究指明了方向。
The rickettsial disease of man found only in Asia is mite-borne (scrub) typhus, caused byRickettsia tsutsugamushi. Unique to southern Japan is a little-known human mononucleosis-like disease caused byRickettsia sennetsu. In 1981 and 1982, there was a remarkable resurgence in the number of reported cases of mite-borne typhus in Japan after some years of virtual absence. Recent studies ofR sennetsuhave resulted in its reclassification to the genusEhrlichia, members of which until now have been exclusively pathogens of animals. The historical background of ecologic investigations, in Malaysia and elsewhere, of these two developments suggest directions for future research.
