Abstract
O. parkeri has been collected in 8 counties in California, viz., Merced, Kern, Fresno, Stanislaus, Butte, Yuba, Placer, and Alameda. Strains of spirochetes recovered produce relapses in white mice and guinea pigs. A case of relapsing fever contracted in Stanislaus County is the first definitely attributable to O. parkeri.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
