Apr 29th, 2021 - Bacterial vector-borne diseases, including Borrelia species, present a significant diagnostic, clinical, and public health challenge due to their overlapping symptoms and the breadth of causative agents and arthropod vectors. The relapsing fever (...

Apr 22nd, 2021 - Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) is the most common vector-borne bacterial disease in humans in West Africa. It is frequently clinically confused with malaria. Our study aims to determine, on a micro-geographic scale, the conditions for the maint...

Apr 20th, 2021 - The spirochetal bacterium, Borrelia recurrentis, causes louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF). Borrelia recurrentis is unique because, as opposed to other Borrelia spirochetes, this strictly human pathogen is transmitted by lice. Despite the high mor...

Apr 13th, 2021 - Relapsing fever (RF), caused by spirochetes of the genus Borrelia, is a globally distributed, vector-borne disease with high prevalence in developing countries. To date, signaling pathways required for infection and virulence of RF Borrelia spiroc...

Mar 28th, 2021 - Ticks (Ixodidae, also known as hard ticks) as principal vectors of zoonotic diseases such as severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), Lyme borreliosis, relapsing fever, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, babesiosis, coxiellosis (Q fever), and ...

Sep 22nd, 2019 - Ticks can carry and transmit a remarkable array of pathogens, including bacteria, spirochetes, rickettsiae, protozoa, viruses, nematodes, and toxins. A single tick bite can transmit multiple pathogens, a phenomenon that has led to atypical present...

Nov 6th, 2015 - The reemergence of an early-20th-century fever is an example of how increased migration from war-torn and resource-poor countries has created new routes for the spread of vectorborne diseases. Dr.

Jan 29th, 2015 - A new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds that tickborne relapsing fever (TBRF) is endemic to the mountainous regions of the western United States, particularly among nonresident male visitors. These results w...
