Relapsing fever is an infection caused by certain bacteria in the genus Borrelia. It is a vector-borne disease that is transmitted through louse or soft-bodied tick bites. It is not spread from animals or person-to-person. Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) is found in Africa, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Asia, and certain areas in the western US and Canada. Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) occurs in epidemics amid poor living conditions, famine and war in the developing world; it is currently prevalent in Ethiopia and Sudan.
