<i>Borrelia recurrentis</i>in Head Lice, Ethiopia

1 Apr 2013

Abstract excerpt

Since the 1800s, the only known vector of Borrelia recurrentis has been the body louse. In 2011, we found B. recurrentis DNA in 23% of head lice from patients with louse-borne relapsing fever in Ethiopia. Whether head lice can transmit these bacteria from one person to another remains to be determined.
