In the United States, the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is a vector of seven human
pathogens, including those causing Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Borrelia …

Babesiosis is an emerging tick-borne disease caused by intraerythrocytic protozoa that are
primarily transmitted by hard-bodied (ixodid) ticks and rarely through blood transfusion …

This evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment
of Lyme disease was developed by a multidisciplinary panel representing the Infectious …

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 …

Abstract In the United States, ticks transmit the greatest diversity of arthropod-borne
pathogens and are responsible for the most cases of all vector-borne diseases. In recent …

Borrelia miyamotoi is distantly related to B. burgdorferi and transmitted by the same hard-
body tick species. We report 46 cases of B. miyamotoi infection in humans and compare the …

Borrelia miyamotoi is a relapsing fever Borrelia group spirochete that is transmitted by the
same hard-bodied (ixodid) tick species that transmit the agents of Lyme disease. It was …

Transovarial transmission (TOT) of Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato), the agent of Lyme
disease, by the Ixodes persulcatus group of hard ticks (Ixodidae) has frequently been …

Vector-borne diseases are emerging at an increasing rate and comprise a disproportionate
share of all emerging infectious diseases. Yet, the key ecological and evolutionary …

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 …
