Is this a trombiculid mite? if so, it could spread scrub typhus.
Sorry for the unrelated posting here, but I cannot figure out where else to place the question. Anyone know of an anti-helmith agent with a trade name Zentax?
Thanks -- will have to give more thought to the arthropod . . .
Could it be Zentel? That's a trade name for Albendazole.
