Seroprevalence rates of Rickettsia typhi and Orientia tsutsugamushi in study of seroprevalence and predictors of murine typhus, Japan. R. typhi IgG was detected in 11.3% (95% CI 10.0–12.6) of participants and O. tsutsugamushi IgG was detected in 7.9% (95% CI 6.9–9.1) of all participants. The seroprevalence of both infections was compared using the McNemar test. The estimated seropositivity ratio was 1.42 (95% CI 1.20–1.68).
