In 1984 .apprx. 1985, study demonstrated Haemolaelaps glasgswi and Eulaelaps stabularis could naturally be infected by EHFV. And EHFV could be transmitted through biting and transovarial transmission. The results indicate that these two mites can serve as transmitting vector of EHF of field rodent type and may act as a reservoir host they play an important role among rodents in the transmission and maintenance of natural foci of EHF and may be one of the transmitting route of EHF from rodent to human.
