Type locality. Italia (Toscana).
Type host. Mus decumanus Pallas, 1778 = Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769).
Principal hosts. Domestic rats of the genus Rattus Fischer, 1803.
Distribution. Virtually cosmopolitan (in tropical and temperate zones). The range of L. echidninus coincides with the range of its principal hosts, Rattus spp. (Strandtmann & Mitchell, 1963; Zemskaya, 1973). In Asiatic Russia, the species has been recorded from Eastern Siberia and the Far East (Amur Region, Sakhalin Island), however, no recordings from Western Siberia are known to date (Zemskaya, 1973; Nikulina, 2004). Although Strandtmann & Mitchell (1963) report this mite from a wide range of hosts, including tupaids, sciurid rodents, and a wide range of muroid rodents, L. echidninus is primarily associated with the cosmopolitan domestic rat species Rattus rattus and R. norvegicus.
