Roundworm

Tsutsugamushi disease is also called jungle typhus or red worm disease. The main cause of the disease is acute fever that is infected by bites of Ascaris tsutsugamushi larvae. In general, mice are the most common host for tapeworms. Tetracyclines are the most effective in treatment, and the most effective method of prevention and treatment is to eliminate their host to reduce the density of tapeworm and to avoid entering the tapeworm active area as long as possible, or take a shower and change clothes immediately after the activity to reduce the chance of being bitten.
