The shifting landscape of tick-borne zoonoses: tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme borreliosis in Europe [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2001
The two major vector-borne diseases of northern temperate regions, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and Lyme borreliosis (LB), show very different epidemiological patterns, but both have increased significantly in incidence since the 1980s.

Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever Borreliosis, Rural Senegal [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Detecting spirochetes remains challenging in cases of African tick-borne relapsing fever. Using real-time PCR specific for the 16S rRNA Borrelia gene, we found 27 (13%) of 206 samples from febrile patients in rural Senegal to be positive, whereas thick blood smear examinations conducted at dispensaries identified only 4 (2%) as positive.
