Borrelia miyamotoi is a tick-borne bacterium which has only recently been identified in Europe as a human pathogen causing relapsing fever and little is known about its local impact on human health. There are three types of B. miyamotoi: Asian (Siberian), European, and American. B. miyamotoi is transmitted by the same Ixodes ricinus-persulcatus species complex, which also transmits B. burgdorferi s.l., the Lyme borreliosis group. Both Borrelia groups are mostly maintained in natural rodent populations. The aim of this review is to summarize the available literature on B. miyamotoi, with the focus of attention falling on Europe, as well as to describe its presence in ticks, reservoir hosts, and humans and discuss its potential impact on public health.
宫本疏螺旋体是一种蜱传细菌，直到最近才在欧洲被确认为一种可引起回归热的人类病原体，人们对其对当地人类健康的影响知之甚少。宫本疏螺旋体有三种类型：亚洲型（西伯利亚型）、欧洲型和美洲型。宫本疏螺旋体由蓖麻硬蜱-全沟硬蜱物种复合体传播，该复合体也传播莱姆病疏螺旋体狭义亚种（Lyme borreliosis group），即莱姆病螺旋体。这两种疏螺旋体主要在天然啮齿动物种群中维持传播。本综述的目的是总结关于宫本疏螺旋体的现有文献，重点关注欧洲，并描述其在蜱、储存宿主和人类中的存在情况，以及讨论其对公共卫生的潜在影响。
