According to doctors, scrub typhus is a type of contagious disease. This disease is transmitted to humans by the bite of a worm-like insect (mite) that infects cattle. This disease is caused by bacteria called Orencia susugamusi. This bacteria is found in mites found in the body of rats. The disease is transmitted to humans when an infected insect bites a person.
This disease is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected insect. Devraj Ghimire informed. If a person with scrub typhus is delayed in treatment, there is a risk of death. Ghimire said. Similarly, Dr. Ghimire said that dengue, an infectious disease transmitted by mosquito bites, can attack the throat, lungs and nose. The virus is spread through the air when a person infected with Ghimirele Influenza virus sneezes, talks or coughs.
