  1. THE ECOLOGY OF TICK-BORNE RELAPSING FEVER IN WESTERN NORTH AMERICA

    Johnson, Tammi Lynne

    <p>In North America the primary cause of tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) is the spirochete <i>Borrelia hermsii</i> that is vectored by the tick <i>Ornithodoros hermsi</i>. Ecological investigations were combined with mathematical modeling and genetics to gain a clearer understanding of the …

    Pappert, Ryan, author, Reif, John, advisor, Duncan, Colleen, committee member, Legare, Marie, committee member, Mead, Paul, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2011

    Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) is a rare bacterial disease caused primarily by Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia turicatae in the western United States and transmitted by Ornithodoros species soft ticks. No spatial analyses have been attempted for TBRF, and previous epidemiologic studies were …

  8. Cyclic-di-GMP Signaling in the Borrelia Spirochetes

    Freedman, John2021

    <p>Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in North America, with approximately 35,000 cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control in 2008. The genome of its causative agent, Borrelia burgdorferi, encodes for a set of genes involved in the metabolism and regulatory activities of …
