Cook, Ross, Milne, Dutton, Todd, Koch, and others studied TBRF extensively throughout southern and eastern Africa in the early 1900s.In 1904, Ross and Milne, while working in Uganda, showed that TBRF was caused by a spirochete in the bloodstream. The role of the human body louse in the transmission of relapsing fever was reported by MacKie in 1907.
