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.

Immune Evasion Strategies of Relapsing Fever Spirochetes
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Relapsing fever (RF) is claimed a neglected arthropod-borne disease caused by a number of diverse human pathogenic Borrelia (B.) species. These RF borreliae are separated into the groups of tick-transmitted species including B. duttonii, B.

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.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Peptides as a Therapeutic Alternative Against Leishmaniasis: A Scoping Review
Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.This scoping review of 79 studies identified 231 antimicrobial peptides with anti‐Leishmania activity, including natural‐derived and synthetic peptides (inspired by natural sources or developed through rational design). Most were evaluated in vitro against promastigote and/or amastigote forms, with synthetic peptides showing a more promising effect ...

Knowledge mapping of risk mitigation measures against vector‐borne diseases
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract A comprehensive synthesis of current evidence on surveillance, prevention and control measures for 25 selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) affecting animals in the EU is presented here. The assessment integrates evidence from systematic literature reviews, modelling studies, field investigations and expert judgement.
