Abstract excerpt

Chiggers (Acariformes: Trombiculidae) are ectoparasites of small mammals and important vectors of scrub typhus, yet their taxonomy and molecular diversity in Southeast Asia remain poorly resolved. This study represents the first DNA barcoding and phylogenetic assessment of chiggers from small mammals across Peninsular Malaysia, integrating mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear (28 S rDNA) genes. A total of 192 chiggers...
