'''''Borrelia hermsii''''' is a [[Spiral bacteria#Spirochete|spirochete]] bacterium representing the endemic causative agent of [[relapsing fever|tick-borne relapsing fever]] in eastern regions of [[North America]] (more specifically, the eastern United States, and British Columbia region of Canada). It is spread by the soft-bodied tick ''[[Ornithodoros hermsi]]''. Human infections characteristically occur among campers and people temporarily lodging in wooden accommodations in proximity to rodents. Human disease is usually relatively mild with low fever.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dictionnaire médical de l'Académie de Médecine |url=https://www.academie-medecine.fr/le-dictionnaire/index.php?q=Borrelia+hermsii |access-date=2024-02-15 |website=www.academie-medecine.fr}}</ref><br />
