Articles were identified through electronic resources and by scanning reference lists of relevant articles. The electronic search was performed using Embase (1974-present), Medline (1950-present), CAB Abstracts (1910-present) and Web of Science (1900-present). Additionally, an unpublished list of scrub typhus articles produced by Michael W. Hastriter in 2012 was scanned for relevant articles (previously, but no longer, accessible at: http://www.afpmb.org/sites/default/files/whatsnew/2012/Hastriter_Complete.pdf). The first search took place on 26th October 2015 with regular updates using the same search terms until 20th November 2018.
