Hemorrhagic Diathesis in Borrelia recurrentis Infection Imported to Germany [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 To the Editor: Relapsing fevers are paroxysmal bloodstream infections caused by spirochetes of the genus Borrelia. Louseborne relapsing fever (LBRF; i.e., epidemic relapsing fever) is caused by B. recurrentis and transmitted by the human body louse (Pediculus humanus).

Conceptualizing histories of multispecies entanglements: Ancient pathogen genomics and the case of Borrelia recurrentis [PDF]
Journal of Social Archaeology, 2021 This article explores the conceptual and cultural implications of using pathogen ancient DNA (aDNA) collected in archaeological contexts to understand the past. More specifically, it examines ancient pathogen genomics as a way of conceptualizing multispecies entanglements.

Louse-borne relapsing fever (Borrelia recurrentis infection). [PDF]
Epidemiol Infect, 2019 AbstractLouse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is an epidemic disease with a fascinating history from Hippocrates’ times, through the 6th century ‘Yellow Plague’, to epidemics in Ireland, Scotland and England in the 19th century and two large Afro-Middle Eastern pandemics in the 20th century.
