鉤恙蟎屬(學名:Leptotrombidium;(/ˌlɛptoʊtrɒmˈbɪdiəm/[1]),又名纤恙螨属[2],是蛛形綱蜱蟎亞綱蟎形總目恙蟎目恙蟎總科恙蟎科之下的一個屬,可透過叮咬人類而令人類感染恙蟲東方體(O. tsutsugamushi)而患上恙蟲病(亦作叢林斑疹傷寒)[3]。鉤恙蟎屬的幼虫主要宿主是啮齿类,但有时也能寄生于人类或其他大型哺乳类动物中。
過往曾以為啮齿类動物是恙蟲東方體的宿主,而恙蟎只是感染的载体[4][5],但現時我們知道恙蟎一生只會進食一次,這使病原從啮齿类動物傳播至人類這種假設不可能,因為恙蟎要達成載體的話,需要先後嚙咬鼠隻取得病原、然後再嚙咬人類以將病原傳給人類[6]。所以病菌只可能一開始就已在恙蟎的體內,透過產卵的過程從母體傳染給蟎的蟲卵[7][8][9]。所以鉤恙蟎屬物種同時是恙蟲東方體的病原載體及天然宿主[6]。感染幾乎均由雌蟲造成[10],而且似乎並未有對恙蟎造成傷害。
生命週期
[编辑]幼蟎呈淡橙色,以液化了的皮膚組織為食,而不是血液,因為牠們的口器(一種螯肢,chelicerae)太短,無法深入至皮下的血管[11]。有三對腿。幼蟎最常見的目標是囓齒動物,但也附著在人類身上[6]。對人類來說,被恙蟎咬傷無痛,只有當幼蟎從皮膚上脫落後才會出現疼痛,而且會留下紅色丘疹,並可能會發展成焦痂[12]。
幼蟎階段持續一至兩星期。進食後,幼蟎會掉到地上,變成若蟎。若蟎呈磚紅色,有四對腿。若蟎階段持續一至三星期。當若蟎成熟為成蟎時,會有四對腿,第一對最大。牠們對人類無害。在後期幼蟎階段,它們不再寄生並以植物材料為食。[13] 雌蟲單獨產卵,約需一星期孵化。成蟎壽命約六個月。
