The etiological agent was identified by Huebner and his associates3asRickettsia akari, a new species which is serologically related to the spotted fever group of rickettsiae. The disease is apparently transmitted to man by a blood-sucking mite,Allodermanyssus sanguineus, an arthropod parasite of rodents.4Rickettsia akarihas been isolated from pools of these mites collected in dwellings where cases of rickettsialpox have recently occurred.
