Testicular Damage by Microcirculatory Disruption and Colonization of an Immune-Privileged Site during Borrelia crocidurae Infection

The agent of African relapsing fever, Borrelia crocidurae, causes reversible multiple organ damage. We hypothesize that this damage is caused when the spirochete forms aggregate with erythrocytes in vivo, creating rosettes that plug the microcirculatory system. To test this hypothesis, we compared t...
