Relapsing fever tick
Relapsing fever tick. Macrophotograph of a relapsing fever tick (Ornithodorus moubata) feeding on human blood. This soft-bodied tick is a parasite of humans, piercing the skin with its mouthparts and swelling as it gorges itself on the hosts blood. It acts as a vector for the spirochaete bacterium Borrelia recurrentis, which causes relapsing fever in humans. Infection with the bacterium results in recurrent episodes of fever and septicaemia (tissue destruction), separated by periods without symptoms. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a relapsing fever tick, Ornithodorus moubata, as it indulges in its parasitic feeding habits. The macrophotograph captures the soft-bodied tick engorged with human blood, highlighting its role as a vector for the spirochaete bacterium Borrelia recurrentis. As this tiny arachnid pierces the skin with its mouthparts and swells while gorging on its host's blood, it becomes evident how this creature acts as both a parasite and a disease-causing agent. The resulting infection leads to relapsing fever in humans, characterized by recurring episodes of fever and septicaemia. The magnification of this image remains unknown but is undoubtedly impressive, allowing us to appreciate the complexity of these invertebrates up close. The photograph serves as a reminder of nature's intricacies and the delicate balance between organisms that coexist within our ecosystem. While observing this remarkable snapshot, we are reminded not only of the scientific significance behind studying such creatures but also their impact on human health. This particular print stands as an invaluable resource for researchers delving into fields like zoology, infectious diseases, or even wildlife conservation – shedding light on one small yet influential player in our natural world.
