Borrelia microtti and Borrelia persica are two Iranian strains of spirochetes
whose vectors are Ornithodorous tholozani and Ornithodorous erraticus which
are responsible for relapsing fever. BSK medium has been used for in vitro culture
of other strains of borrelia, although the two mentioned strains could not be
successfully cultured in it. We have modified BSK medium by using guinea pig
and fetal calf serum instead of rabbit serum. It was observed that for in vitro
culture of Borrelia persica, guinea pig serum and for Borrelia microtti, fetal calf
serum show the best growth.
