Recently I was reading #WildMed topics on Twitter and saw @ExpeditionDocs tweet about an interesting article in NEJM: Human Borrelia miyamotoi Infection in the United States. I have previously written about Lyme Disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) in an article on this blog with my friend and amateur entomologist Scott Willis (The Low Down on Lyme Disease) as well as on the Family Medicine Reference blog (The Low down on Lyme Disease).
Borrelia miyamotoi, a spirochete that is genetically related to the species of borrelia that cause relapsing fever, has been detected in all tick species that are vectors of Lyme disease.1,2 It was detected in Ixodes scapularis ticks from Connecticut in 2001 and subsequently has been detected in all areas of the United States where Lyme disease is endemic.
