Epidemiology of Relapsing Fever
{"Image DocumentName": "Epidemiology of Relapsing Fever", "Image ImageDescription": "Associated with poverty, crowding, and warfare. Arthropod vectors. Louse-borne borreliosis = Epidemic Relapsing Fever. Transmitted person-to-person by human body lice (vectors) from infected human reservoir. Infect host only when louse is injured, e.g., during scratching. Therefore, a single louse can only infect a single person. Lice leave host that develops a fever and seek normal temperature host. Tick-borne borreliosis = Endemic Relapsing Fever. Sporadic cases. Transmitted by soft body ticks (vectors) from small mammal reservoir. Ticks can multiply and infect new human hosts.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
