Jigger (sand flea) infested foot. Tunga penetrans (chigoe flea or jigger) is a parasitic insect found in most tropical and sub-tropical climates. It is native to Central and South America, and has been inadvertently introduced by humans to sub-Saharan Africa. Synonyms for Tunga penetrans include Sarcopsylla penetrans, Pulex penetrates, and many others. In its parasitic phase it has significant impact on its host, which include humans and certain other mammalian species. A parasitical infestation of T. penetrans is called tungiasis.
Chiggers and ticks are not insects. They are arachnids, which are close cousins of insects and include spiders, scorpions, and mites. In fact, chiggers are mites. A chigger is the larval stage of a mite in the family Trombiculidae. Nymphs and adults of chiggers are called harvest mites which are free living and predators of small arthropods and their eggs.
