Trombicula autumnalis, Harvest mite

Etiology

larvae Trombicula autumnalis

Eggs are laid in spring, larvae hatch after about two months, then wait in low vegetation. After attaching to (thin) skin of people or warm blooded animals they release digesting saliva and suck the digested tissue. They fall of after 4 days and finish their development cycle.

Trombicula, adult: Trombicula, adult, Macro (6056)

Trombicula, larva: Trombicula, larva, Macro (6060)

Attached larva: Trombicula, attached larva and detail, Clinical picture (6059)

Clinical signs

larva attaches the skin, often near the follicle
small papules and pustules are formed, strong pruritus
excoriations are common
after stay in nature, especially in warm weather

Pictures

Trombiculosis, papules: Trombiculosis, detail, Clinical picture (6057) Trombiculosis, Clinical picture (6058)

Histology

Slight inflammation, necrosis of the tissue near the attachment.
