Abstract
Seasonal distribution of chigger mites in the Kangwha Island and Yongjong Island was studied during the period of October 1992-August 1993. From 42 field rodents collected, 1,290 chiggers were obtained and 8 species of 4 genera were identified. In the Kanghwa Island, Leptopombidium pallidum was the predominant species through all seasons with the percentage of 93.0%. Whereas, In the Yongjong Island, L. palpale was the predominant species with the percentage of 38.4% and L. pnllidum was not found.
1992년 10월부터 1993년 8월에 걸쳐 경기도 강화도와 인천직할시 영종도 2개 섬에서 털진드기에 관한 조사를 실시하였다. 포획한 42마리의 들쥐로부터 1,290개체의 털진드기를 채집하여 4속 8종을 동정하였다. 강화도에서는 전 계절을 통하여 Leptotrombidium pallidum이 93.0%를 차지하여 우점종으로 나타났으며, 영종도에서는 L. palpale가 38.4%를 차지하여 우점종이었고, L. pallidum은 한 마리도 채집되지 않았다.
