Bleeding in louse-borne relapsing fever II. Fibrinolysis following treatment
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1971 Abstract Treatment of louse-borne relapsing fever was followed by a sudden increase in fibrin degradation productions (FDP) in 6 of 7 patients. The FDP were believed to be the result of fibrinolysis secondary to intravascular clotting in 2 patients who also had transient decreases in plasma fibrinogen concentration and platelet count.

Live Attenuated Vaccines for African Swine Fever: Perspectives on Their Use and Strategic Directions
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.African swine fever (ASF) continues to cause substantial economic and production losses in affected countries. Although biosecurity and conventional control measures remain essential, the challenges of ASF control underscore the need for safe and effective vaccines as additional tools, particularly in endemic settings.

Louse‐borne relapsing fever in Finland in two asylum seekers from Somalia
APMIS, 2016 We report two cases of louse‐borne relapsing fever (LBRF) in young Somali asylum seekers having recently arrived to Finland. They had sought medical attention for a febrile illness. Blood smears were examined for suspected malaria, but instead, spirochete shaped bacteria were observed.
