Tick-borne borreliosis in West Africa : recent epidemiological studies /Trape, Jean-François /Godeluck, Bruno /Diatta, Georges Rogier, C. /Legros, Fabrice /Albergel, Jean /Pépin, Yannick /Duplantier, Jean-Marc EPIDEMIOLOGIE VECTEUR ENDEMIE FACTEUR CLIMATIQUE SECHERESSE BORRELIOSE FIEVRE RECURRENTE A TIQUE Tick-borne borreliosis in West Africa is classically considered a rare disease whose geographic distribution is limited to Saharan and Sahelian regions. We report results of epidemiological investigations which indicate that tick-borne borreliosis is endemic in all regions of Senegal north to the 13 degrees 30'N latitude and is a major cause of morbidity in these areas. Our findings indicate a considerable range extension for the vector tick Alectorobius sonrai and suggest that the persistence of Subsaharan drought is responsible for a large spread of tick-borne borreliosis in West Africa. 1996 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010016506 fdi:010016506 Trape Jean-François, Godeluck Bruno, Diatta Georges, Rogier C., Legros Fabrice, Albergel Jean, Pépin Yannick, Duplantier Jean-Marc.
