The Ornithodorus tholozani, carrier and main reservoir of Borrelia persica, causing agent of the regional recurrent fever in Iran, gets rid of the infection by stuffing in blood containing a cycline type antibiotic, in an adequate concentration. The treatment efficiency is 100%, confirmed on 60 infected ticks who showed to be free from Borrelia after a treatment meal, so that the crushing of their whole body, inoculated to the guinea-pig, the most sensitive animal to Borrelia persica, remains always non pathogenic. There is not a single risk or danger, neither for man nor for the environment, in the application of this method, which ensures only the cure of Borrelia reservoir ticks, without affecting or disturbing their natural balance. This method could be used successfully in the future.
伊朗地区复发性发热的病原体——波斯疏螺旋体的携带者及主要宿主托尔萨尼钝缘蜱，在摄入含有适当浓度环素类抗生素的血液后可清除感染。在60只受感染的蜱虫上得到了证实，其治疗效率为100%。这些蜱虫在吸食含抗生素血液进行治疗后，经检测已无波斯疏螺旋体。将它们的整个身体碾碎后接种到对波斯疏螺旋体最敏感的动物豚鼠身上，结果始终未引发致病性。应用此方法对人类和环境均不存在任何风险或危险，该方法仅能确保治愈携带波斯疏螺旋体的蜱虫，而不会影响或扰乱其自然平衡。此方法未来有望成功应用。
