-'''Scrub typhus''' is a form of [[typhus]] caused by ''[[Orientia tsutsugamushi]]'' and transmitted by [[Harvest mite|chiggers]], which are found in areas of heavy scrub vegetation. Symptoms include [[fever]], [[headache]], muscle pain, [[cough]], and [[gastrointestinal]] symptoms. More virulent strains can cause hemorrhaging and intravascular coagulation.
