Diversity and distribution of the tick-borne relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia turicatae.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021 Borrelia turicatae is a causative agent of tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) in the subtropics and tropics of the United States and Latin America. Historically, B. turicatae was thought to be maintained in enzootic cycles in rural areas.

Effects of Sex, Life Stage, and Specific Blood Meals on Microbiome of Starved Ornithodoros turicata [PDF]
, 2022 Ticks carry and transmit more disease agents than any other arthropod vector. The composition of the microbiome within ticks may influence this ability, but many factors that influence their microbial composition remain to be elucidated.

Cellular Microbiology, Volume 21, Issue 2, February 2019., 2019 Abstract The relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia turicatae possesses a complex life cycle in its soft‐bodied tick vector, Ornithodoros turicata. Spirochetes enter the tick midgut during a blood meal, and, during the following weeks, spirochetes disseminate throughout O. turicata.

Tick‐borne relapsing fever as a potential veterinary medical problem
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 271-279, November 2018., 2018 Tick‐Borne Relapsing Fever is emerging as an important veterinary medical problem. Abstract Tick‐borne relapsing fever (TBRF) caused by the bacteria Borrelia, is poorly documented in veterinary medicine. Given the widespread presence of the soft tick vectors – Ornithodoros and the recently discovered hard tick vectors, as well as their close ...
