Isolation of Borrelia miyamotoi and other Borreliae using a modified BSK medium

Scientific Reports, 2021
Borrelia spirochetes are the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis (LB) and relapsing fever (RF). Despite the steady rise in infections and the identification of new species causing human illness over the last decade, isolation of borreliae in culture has

The dynamics of vector-borne relapsing diseases [PDF]

Mathematical Biosciences, 2018
In this paper we describe the dynamics of a vector-borne relapsing disease, such as tick-borne relapsing fever, using the methods of compartmental models. After some motivation, model description, and a brief overview of the theory of compartmental models, we compute a general form of the reproductive ratio $R_0$, which is the average number of new ...
