Borrelia miyamotoi is a tick-borne bacterium that may cause relapsing fever in humans. As this pathogen has been discovered in Europe only recently, only little is known about its local impact on human health and its spatial distribution. In this study, we show the results of PCR screenings for B.miyamotoi in flagged Ixodes ricinus from Belgium and the Netherlands. B.miyamotoi was detected in nine of thirteen, and three of five locations from the Netherlands and Belgium, respectively. These outcomes indicate that B.miyamotoi is more spread than previously thought. The mean infection rate B.miyamotoi was 1.14% for Belgium and 3.84% for the Netherlands.
