'''''Borrelia recurrentis''''' is a species of ''[[Borrelia]]'', a [[spirochaete]] [[bacterium]] associated with [[relapsing fever]].<ref name="pmid9336893">{{cite journal |vauthors=Cutler SJ, Moss J, Fukunaga M, Wright DJ, Fekade D, Warrell D |title=Borrelia recurrentis characterization and comparison with relapsing-fever, Lyme-associated, and other Borrelia spp |journal=International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology |volume=47 |issue=4 |pages=958–68 |date=October 1997 |pmid=9336893 |doi=10.1099/00207713-47-4-958 |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name="pmid16790790">{{cite journal |vauthors=Meri T, Cutler SJ, Blom AM, Meri S, Jokiranta TS |title=Relapsing fever spirochetes Borrelia recurrentis and B. duttonii acquire complement regulators C4b-binding protein and factor H |journal=Infection and Immunity |volume=74 |issue=7 |pages=4157–63 |date=July 2006 |pmid=16790790 |pmc=1489703 |doi=10.1128/IAI.00007-06 }}</ref> ''B. recurrentis'' is usually transmitted from person to person by the [[human body louse]].<ref name="isbn0-13-144329-1">{{cite book |author1=Madigan, Michael T. |author2=Martinko, John M. |title=Brock biology of microorganisms |publisher=Pearson Prentice Hall |location=Upper Saddle River, NJ |year=2006 |pages=410 |isbn=0-13-144329-1 }}</ref> Since the 1800s, the body louse has been known as its only known vector.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite journal | last1 = Boutellis | first1 = A | last2 = Mediannikov | first2 = O | last3 = Bilcha | first3 = KD | last4 = Ali | first4 = J | last5 = Campelo | first5 = D | last6 = Barker | first6 = SC | display-authors = etal | year = 2013| title = Borrelia recurrentis in head lice, Ethiopia | journal = Emerg Infect Dis | volume = 19| issue = 5| pages = 796–798| doi = 10.3201/eid1905.121480 | pmid = 23648147 | pmc = 3647509 }}</ref><br />

''B. recurrentis'' DNA was found in 23% of head lice from patients with louse-borne relapsing fever in Ethiopia. Whether head lice can transmit these bacteria from one person to another remains to be determined.<ref name="ReferenceA"/><br />
<br />
It is notable for its ability to alter the proteins expressed on its surface, which causes the "relapsing" characteristic of relapsing fever.<ref name="isbn0-7817-8215-5">{{cite book |author1=Fisher, Bruce |author2=Harvey, Richard P. |author3=Strohl, William A. |author4=Champe, Pamela C. |title=Lippincott's Illustrated reviews, microbiology |url=https://archive.org/details/microbiologylipp00harv |url-access=limited |publisher=Lippincott Williams & Wilkins |location=Hagerstwon, MD |year=2007 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/microbiologylipp00harv/page/n177 166] |isbn=978-0-7817-8215-9 }}</ref><br />
