First cluster of relapsing fever compatible with louse-borne transmission in southern Saudi Arabia: An eight-case series from Najran

Journal of Infection and Public Health
Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF), caused by Borrelia recurrentis, is a neglected vector-borne infection associated with overcrowding, migration, and poor hygiene conditions. We describe eight spatiotemporally linked cases of Borrelia spp.

Serological evidence of louse-borne relapsing fever in northern Kenya

Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease
Background: Tick- and louse-borne relapsing fever are highly-neglected, vector-borne diseases caused by diverse Borrelia species. Presently, there are no data available on the endemicity of tick- and louse-borne relapsing fever spirochetes in Kenya. Here,

Borrelia recurrentis Characterization and Comparison with Relapsing-Fever, Lyme-Associated, and Other Borrelia spp.

, 1998
P(論文)シラミ媒介性回帰熱の起因菌であるBorrelia recurrentisは、これまで培養が不可能であったことからその性状はあまり知られていない。我々はシラミ媒介性回帰熱の患者から18株のボレリアの培養に成功し、これら分離株の性状について検討した。電子顕微鏡像、G+C含量、DNA相同性、鞭毛遺伝子あるいは16SrRNA遺伝子の塩基配列、SDS-PAGE、PFGEによる解析を行い、回帰熱ボレリア、ライム病関連ボレリア、その他ボレリア属に属する種との比較を行った。Borrelia ...

P66 porins are present in both Lyme disease and relapsing fever spirochetes: A comparison of the biophysical properties of P66 porins from six Borrelia species

, 2010
The genus Borrelia is the cause of the two human diseases: Lyme disease (LD) and relapsing fever (RF). Both LD and RF Borrelia species are obligate parasites and are dependent on nutrients provided by their hosts. The first step of nutrient uptake across
