Relapsing Fevers: Neglected Tick-Borne Diseases [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Relapsing fever still remains a neglected disease and little is known on its reservoir, tick vector and physiopathology in the vertebrate host. The disease occurs in temperate as well as tropical countries. Relapsing fever borreliae are spirochaetes, members of the Borreliaceae family which also contain Lyme disease spirochaetes.
