Abstract
A five day study was conducted in northern Thailand to determine the suitability of Rattus rattus (L.) and Mus musculus (L.) as sentinel animals for larval Leptotrombidium imphalum Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston (also known as chiggers) in ecotonal and plantation habitats. Chiggers infested sentinel rats with a significantly higher prevalence and mean intensity than sentinel mice (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in prevalence or mean intensity of L. imphalum infesting rats in ecotones or the plantation.
