Aislamiento de Borrelia turicatae de Ornithodoros turicata colectada en México [PDF]

, 2023
RESUMEN Las espiroquetas causantes de la fiebre recurrente (FR) son patógenos del género Borrelia transmitidos por garrapatas blandas y duras. Esta enfermedad se considera como desatendida y emergente. Aunque la enfermedad se ha descrito y diagnosticado en México, al momento no se ha logrado el aislamiento de la bacteria causante de la misma.

Genome report: whole-genome assembly of the relapsing fever tick Ornithodoros turicata Dugès (Acari: Argasidae). [PDF]

G3 (Bethesda)
Abstract The soft tick family Argasidae contains vectors of medical and veterinary importance, but few molecular resources are available compared to hard ticks (Ixodidae). One example is Ornithodoros turicata, a recognized vector of Borrelia turicatae, causal agent of human relapsing fever, and a putative vector of African swine fever

Tick lipocalin triggers mammalian IGFBP-3-mediated apoptosis in macrophages and keratinocytes [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
Ticks secrete several molecules, including lipocalins, in their saliva during blood feeding on a vertebrate host. In this study, we provide novel evidence on the role of Ornithodoros turicata americanus tick lipocalin (Otlip) in modulating cytokine ...

Serological evidence of Borrelia turicatae in Raccoons (Procyon lotor) from an endemic focus of tick-borne relapsing fever in Mexico. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Tick-borne relapsing fever is a neglected and overlooked disease. In Mexico, numerous historical reports document the distribution of Ornithodoros turicata, the vector of Borrelia turicatae, as well as human cases of infection.

New records of Ornithodoros turicata (Ixodida: Argasidae) in rural and urban sites in the Mexican states of Aguascalientes and Zacatecas indicate the potential for tick-borne relapsing fever. [PDF]

Exp Appl Acarol, 2023
Soft ticks from the Ornithodoros genus are vectors of relapsing fever (RF) spirochetes around the world. In Mexico, they were originally described in the 19th century.

Prevalence, distribution, and phylogenetics of the tick-borne relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia turicatae in the soft tick Ornithodoros turicata americanus in Florida. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
In the southwestern United States, the occurrence and potential for disease spread of Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever (TBRF) has been studied. In Florida, Borrelia pathogens that cause TBRF have only been found in two domestic dogs ( Canis lupus familiaris ),
