Tick-borne Relapsing Fever Caused by Borrelia hermsii, Montana
Five persons contracted tick-borne relapsing fever after staying in a cabin in western Montana. Borrelia hermsii was isolated from the blood of two patients, and Ornithodoros hermsi ticks were collected from the cabin, the first demonstration of this bacterium and tick in Montana. Relapsing fever should be considered when patients who reside or have vacationed in western Montana exhibit a recurring febrile illness

The Sulawesi Black Racer, Coluber (Ptyas) dipsas, and a Remarkable Ectoparasitic Aggregation
Twelve specimens of the Sulawesi black racer, Coluber (Ptyas)
dipsas, have been reported in the literature; none of these is from American
collections. Morphology and relationships of the snake, based on a fresh
specimen, are discussed. Thirteen ticks of two species, Amblyomma cordiferum
and A. helvolum (Ixodidae), and the beetle Aplosonyx nigripennis (Chrysomelidae)
were recovered from an old wound site on a 1465-mm female Coluber
dipsas from Minahasa, Sulawesi Utara, Indonesia. Both tick species are new
island and new host records. There have been no specific plant hosts reported
to date for this beetle, of a phytophagous family
