Transmission dynamics of
Borrelia turicatae from the arthropod vector.
Notably, cases in Texas occurred more frequently in winter months and were associated with time spent in caves, which likely represents infection with
Borrelia turicatae, another species of TBRF Borrelia transmitted by Ornithodoros turicata ticks (5).
We describe a case of culture-confirmed TBRF caused by Borrelia turicatae acquired by an Army soldier during a military training exercise in Texas, USA.
