Abstract

Borrelia persica is a spirochete that causes tick-borne relapsing fever in humans in an area that spans from India to the Mediterranean. Until now, it was thought that the soft tick vector of this infection, Ornithodoros tholozani , is also its main reservoir and it transmits B. persica mostly transovarially between tick generations.
