"Borrelia miyamotoi, a relapsing fever-related spirochete transmitted by Ixodes ticks, has been recently shown to be a human pathogen."
"Standard Lyme borreliosis serologic tests offered by commercial laboratories cannot be relied on to detect B. miyamotoi infection in patients."
"B. miyamotoi has been shown to have transovarial transmission, suggesting that larval ticks may also pose a risk."
