Summary Fifty‐two Rickettsia tsutsugamushi isolates from humans, rodents and chiggers in North Queensland were serologically characterized by the direct immunofluorescence test. A majority (71%) of the isolates was a mixture of two or more strains. The most frequently detected strains in the 52 isolates were TA716 (94%), TA763 (42%), TA686 (33%), and Karp (31%). The Gilliam strain was detected in only 4% of the isolates.
