Laboratory diagnosis of tick-borne African relapsing fevers: latest developments
Frontiers in Public Health, 2015 In Africa, relapsing fevers caused by ectoparasite-borne Borrelia species are transmitted by ticks, with the exception of Borrelia recurrentis, which is a louse-borne spirochete.

Travel- and migration-associated epidermal parasitic skin diseases. A review
Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023 Epidermal parasitic skin diseases are a family of parasitic diseases which occur globally or are frequent in special settings. Epidermal parasitic skin diseases occur in travelers and migrants, although epidemiology and/or clinical manifestations differ ...

Journal of Infection and Public HealthLouse-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.

A mathematical model for the transmission of louse-borne relapsing fever
European Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2017 We present a detailed derivation and analysis of a model consisting of seven coupled delay differential equations for louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF), a disease transmitted from human to human by the body louse Pediculus humanus humanus. Delays model the latency stages of LBRF in humans and lice, which vary in duration from individual to individual,

Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, 2005 INTRODUCTION Borrelial diseases are an important cause of undiagnosed fever. Improved standards of living and better sanitary conditions have almost completely controlled louse borne relapsing fever; however sporadic cases of tick borne relapsing ...

Human Serological Response to Louse-Borne Relapsing Fever [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1973 Serological response to louse-borne relapsing fever in Ethiopia was determined by immobilization tests using Borrelia recurrentis cultures. Isolates from 26 patients tested with autologous convalescent sera showed from 90 to 100% of the organisms had been immobilized.

Why Engage Communities in Biomedical Research?
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While community engagement in biomedical research is widely lauded, and many reasons to engage communities have been adduced, it is unclear whether all these reasons are equally important, and, if not, which are most important. Here, I argue that, outside of rare circumstances, community engagement should not be understood as seeking ...

Transmission dynamics of Borrelia turicatae from the arthropod vector.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BackgroundWith the global distribution, morbidity, and mortality associated with tick and louse-borne relapsing fever spirochetes, it is important to understand the dynamics of vector colonization by the bacteria and transmission to the host.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Tropical farmers try to adapt calf‐rearing systems to temperate dairy industry standards. Calves in tick‐infested areas develop stronger immunity to TBD under controlled exposure to ticks. Early tick exposure promotes sustainable management, balancing tick infestation and developing TBD immunity.
