Eutrombicula samboni (common name - teatree itch-mite)[1] is a species of mite in the family Trombiculidae,[2] found in South Australia.[3]
The genus was first described as Trombicula samboni by Herbert Womersley in 1939.[2][4]
The larva of these mites ('chiggers') embed themselves in host mammals,[5] and for human hosts, the resulting skin irritation has been known as 'tea-tree itch' or 'duck-shooters itch'.[6] Other apparent hosts are horses, cattle and sheep.[7]
