Scrub typhus and tick typhus occur in people who engage in occupational or recreational behaviors that bring them inadvertently in contact with mite- or tick-infested habitats that harbor the rodent hosts of these arthropods. Tick typhus infections, often called spotted fevers, occur occasionally in travelers who spend time in nature trekking or camping, or on safari.
