The authors discuss the incidence of tick-borne relapsing fever in the town of Namangan (Uzbekistan) in 1976-1991 and the possible sites of human infection; the agent, Ornithodoros papillipes, has never been detected over this period. Analysis of many-year and seasonal time course of the disease incidence, of the age of the patients and their residence, characterization of the possible habitats of the agents, and comparison of the situation in the town with that in the adjacent rural territories permit a suggestion that the majority of the patients were infected at home.
作者讨论了1976 - 1991年纳曼干市（乌兹别克斯坦）蜱传回归热的发病率以及人类感染的可能地点；在此期间从未检测到病原体——乳突钝缘蜱。通过分析疾病发病率的多年和季节性时间进程、患者年龄及其居住地，描述病原体可能的栖息地，并将该市的情况与相邻农村地区的情况进行比较，得出一个结论：大多数患者是在家中感染的。
