''Borrelia turicatae'' is a bacterial species of the spirochaete class of the genus ''Borrelia''.〔 ''Borrelia turicatae'' is one of the relapsing fever spirochaetes, which are globally distributed yet understudied agents of tick-borne relapsing fever.〔 The tick vector ''Ornithodoros turicata'' transmits ''B. turicatae'', which causes relapsing fever, an arthropod-borne infection of humans and other mammals caused by different ''Borrelia'' species.〔〔〔 ''B. turicatae'' is long and spiral-shaped, as is typical for all spirochaetes.〔 It is a Gram negative bacterium and visible with light microscopy.〔 Few epidemiological studies have been performed and little molecular data exist for ''B. turicatae'' and its arthropod vector ''O. turicata''.〔 ==Distribution== ''B. turicatae'' is predominant in the southwestern United States.〔 Endemic foci for ''B. turicatae'' occur in Texas and Florida, where clinical isolates have been obtained from sick dogs, suggesting a role for wild canids in the maintenance of the spirochaetes in nature.〔 ''O. turicata'' has also been reported to be distributed in Mexico and Central and South America, yet given the absence of Latin American isolates for ''B. turicatae'', the identification of endemic foci is unclear.〔
