In the year 1879, Tholozan seems to have been convinced of the danger caused by the bites of ornithodores in Persia, as a result of very careful observations of sick persons suffering from iranian relapsing fever due to Borrelia persica. Among the ticks collected by him and sent to entomologists in France was the true vector, named Argas (presently Ornithodoros) tholozani by Laboulbene and Megnin. Tholozan's contribution to our knowledge on persian relapsing fever is really important. He was one of the first to provide a good clinical description of the disease and to involve an argasid tick in its transmission. He discovered the real vector species which is now called after him.
1879年，托洛赞似乎已经确信波斯地区的鸟蜱叮咬会带来危险，这是他对因波斯疏螺旋体感染而患伊朗回归热的病人进行非常仔细的观察后得出的结论。在他收集并送往法国昆虫学家处的蜱虫中，有一种是真正的传播媒介，拉布尔贝纳和梅尼恩将其命名为托尔赞钝缘蜱（现称托尔赞钝缘璃眼蜱）。托洛赞对我们了解波斯回归热所做的贡献非常重要。他是最早对该病进行详细临床描述并指出锐缘蜱在其传播中作用的人之一。他发现了现在以他的名字命名的真正传播媒介物种。
