Borrelia turicatae in Ticks from Animals in a Public Park, Aguascalientes, Mexico

We obtained 5 isolates of Borrelia turicatae from ticks captured in a public park in Aguascalientes, Mexico. A serologic survey in resident fauna showed antibodies against B. turicatae. Relapsing fever borrelias are present in Ornithodoros turicata ticks and circulate in a zoonotic cycle, posing a risk for human infection.
