Relapsing Fever–Like Spirochetes Infecting European Vector Tick of Lyme Disease Agent
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 To determine whether relapsing fever–like spirochetes associated with hard ticks may infect Ixodes ricinus ticks in central Europe, we screened questing ticks for 16S rDNA similar to that of Asian and American relapsing fever–like spirochetes.

Tickborne Relapsing Fever in Israel
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 We evaluated the epidemiology of relapsing fever from 1971 to 2003 in Israel. In civilians, incidence declined from 0.35 to 0.11 cases per 100,000 persons annually; in military personnel it averaged 6.4 cases per 100,000 persons annually.
