| Ornithodoros | A genus of soft ticks (family Argasidae) several species of which are vectors of pathogens of various relapsing fevers. They are characterised by a capitulum hidden below the hood and by disks and mamillae of the integument that are continuous from dorsal to ventral surfaces in a variety of patterns. Origin: G. Ornis (ornith-), bird, + doros, a leather bag (05 Mar 2000) |

| Ornithodoros lahorensis | A species that possibly transmits Borrelia persica, the agent of Persian relapsing fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ornithodoros moubata complex | A group of four species in Africa; the taxonomy and ecology of this complex is of great significance because its members are vectors of relapsing fever spirochetes; members of the complex include Ornithodoros moubata (various hosts), Ornithodoros compactus (tortoises), Ornithodoros apertus (porcupines), and Ornithodoros porcinus (warthogs); a domestic subspecies of Ornithodoros porcinus, in turn, forms three strains that feed chiefly on humans, fowl, and swine.

| Ornithodoros pappilipes | The "Persian bug," a species found in the former USSR and the Near East that transmits Borrelia persica, the pathogen in Iran of Persian relapsing fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ornithodoros parkeri | A species found in the western U.S. And a vector of Borrelia parkeri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ornithodoros rudis | A species that is an important vector of relapsing fever spirochetes in Central and South America; possibly another complex similar to the Ornithodoros moubata complex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ornithodoros savigni | A species transmitting Borrelia, an agent of relapsing fever of eastern Africa, southern Egypt, Ethiopia, and southwestern Asia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ornithodoros talaje | A species found in Mexico and in Central and South America, where it feeds on wild rodents, domestic animals, and humans; it delivers a painful, irritating bite and is a vector of Borrelia mazzottii, a cause of relapsing fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ornithodoros tholozani | A species transmitting Borrelia persica, an agent of relapsing fever in the Middle East and central Asia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ornithodoros venezuelensis | A species that is the vector of Borrelia venezuelensis, agent of relapsing fever in Colombia, Venezuela, and mountainous parts of South America. (05 Mar 2000) |
