Overview

There are two major forms of relapsing fever: endemic tick-borne and epidemic louse-borne. TBRF is transmitted by the soft body ticks (vectors) from a small mammal reservoir and maybe endemic or sporadic. LBRF is transmitted person-to-person by human body lice (vectors) from an infected human reservoir.

Classification

There are two forms of relapsing fever:

Tick-borne Relapsing Fever = Endemic Relapsing Fever

  • Sporadic cases
  • Transmitted by soft ticks

Louse-borne Relapsing Fever = Epidemic Relapsing Fever

  • Transmitted person-to-person by the human body lice (vectors) from an infected human reservoir
