Chigger mites (Acari: Trombiculidae) are specific biological vector of Zoonotic disease scrub typhus and characterized as medically-relevant arthropod vector. The larval stage of chigger mite has a unique mode of parasitism and carries disease causative agent gram-negative bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi. The objective of the study is to summarize the abundance and distribution of different vector mite species in India. For this purpose various research articles have been reviewed and it was found that chigger mites are disseminated globally as ectoparasites of a wide range of vertebrate hosts like rodents, cattle, aves, and sometimes on invertebrates. Chigger mites are abundant in world-famous tsutsugamushi-triangle bounded areas. In India, they are well distributed and cover almost the whole geographical area.
