Since about thirty years, no relapsing fever due to Borrelia duttoni is recorded from Madagascar. A survey was conducted in the formerly endemic area, between Soalala and Majunga, in order to collect data on possible cases and to look if the vector, Ornithodoros moubata is still present. No mention of the disease was recorded; all Ornithodoros seem to have completely disappeared in the area, without any clear reason. However, a few O. moubata specimens were recorded from piggeries in Mahasolo, 150 km west of Tananarive, outside the endemic area.
大约三十年来，马达加斯加没有记录到因达顿疏螺旋体引起的回归热病例。在索阿拉拉和马任加之间的以前的流行地区进行了一项调查，以便收集有关可能病例的数据，并查看传播媒介莫氏钝缘蜱是否仍然存在。没有记录到该疾病的相关情况；该地区所有的莫氏钝缘蜱似乎都已完全消失，原因不明。然而，在塔那那利佛以西150公里、流行区以外的马哈索洛的养猪场记录到了几只莫氏钝缘蜱标本。
