Thanks @rabihmgeha for this gem! O. tsutsugamushi is caused by Scrub typhus which is a mite-borne infectious disease.

It was 1st described by the Chinese in the 3rd century, but its classic features did not appear in the western literature until the end of the 19th
O. tsutsugamushi is a gram-negative coccobacillus that is antigenically distinct from the typhus group rickettsiae. Oh yes, Doxy to the rescue. It's endemic in Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, Pakistan, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia.
