A Focus of Tick‐Borne Relapsing Fever in Southern Zaire [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1997
Relapsing fevers occur worldwide and are characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and spirochetemia. In central, eastern, and southern Africa, the disease is often caused by Borrelia duttonii, which is transmitted by the soft tick Ornithodors moubata.

Pharmacy‐Based Immunization Delivery: A Comprehensive History and Current Challenges

JACCP: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CLINICAL PHARMACY, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pharmacists and their teams have a long history of involvement with vaccines. This paper describes the contributions of pharmacy‐based immunization delivery in the United States from the 1800's to date. Early activities centered around storage and distribution of antitoxins and vaccines. From the 1950s through the early 1990s, pharmacists were

Citizen science informs human-tick exposure in the Northeastern United States

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2019
Background Tick-borne disease is the result of spillover of pathogens into the human population. Traditionally, literature has focused on characterization of tick-borne disease pathogens and ticks in their sylvatic cycles.

Transcriptional Profiling the 150 kb Linear Megaplasmid of Borrelia turicatae Suggests a Role in Vector Colonization and Initiating Mammalian Infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Adaptation is key for survival as vector-borne pathogens transmit between the arthropod and vertebrate, and temperature change is an environmental signal inducing alterations in gene expression of tick-borne spirochetes.

Knowledge mapping of risk mitigation measures against vector‐borne diseases

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract A comprehensive synthesis of current evidence on surveillance, prevention and control measures for 25 selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) affecting animals in the EU is presented here. The assessment integrates evidence from systematic literature reviews, modelling studies, field investigations and expert judgement.

Short report: Diagnosis of tick-borne relapsing fever by the quantitative buffy coat fluorescence method

, 1999
The quantitative buffy coat (QBC) parasite detection method is a sensitive and specific tool for the diagnosis of malaria parasites. It is also useful for the diagnoses of other hemoparasites, including Trypanosoma, Babesia, and Leptospira.

Transmission dynamics of Borrelia turicatae from the arthropod vector.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BackgroundWith the global distribution, morbidity, and mortality associated with tick and louse-borne relapsing fever spirochetes, it is important to understand the dynamics of vector colonization by the bacteria and transmission to the host.
