List of the most common plants identified at the study sites (1 = Ban Thoet Thai, 2 = Ban Song Kwair, 3 = Ban Mae Mon). Figure S1. Spatial distribution over time of all trap positions and O. tsutsugamushi-positive chigger pools, individual chiggers and small mammals for Ban Thoet Thai. This is the major town of the sub-district of Mae Fahluang district. Population: approx. 5,000; elevation: 550 m a.s.l.; mixed hill tribe ethnicities. Study site is located along a small river, encompassing rice fields, vegetable/fruit gardens, patches of fallow areas, degraded secondary forest and a few homes. Figure S2. Spatial distribution over time of all trap positions and O. tsutsugamushi-positive chigger pools, individual chiggers and small mammals for Ban Song Kwair. Home of human case is shown with star. This is an isolated small village in Mae Yao sub-district. Population: approx. 150; elevation: 650 m a.s.l.; Akha hilltribe village, predominantly with traditional wooden stilt homes. Study site is located beside a fast-flowing stream, at the head of the valley; it is surrounded by mixed secondary forest, teak plantation, fallow areas and bamboo groves, and there are patches of dry rice, corn and pineapple plantations.
