The condition is associated with the tropical rat mite (Ornithonyssus bacoti), spiny rat mite (Laelaps echidnina) and house mouse mite (Liponyssoides sanguineus) [4] which opportunistically feed on humans. Rodent mites are capable of surviving for long periods without feeding and travelling long distances when seeking hosts. [4]
Liponyssoides sanguineus is a species of mite that infests the house mouse (Mus musculus). [1] It can transmit human disease, [2] is associated with causing rodent mite dermatitis in humans [3] and is noted for carrying Rickettsia akari, which causes rickettsialpox.
