Transmission is difficult. Even by the usual route - a bite from an infected tick - it is commonly quoted that the tick needs to be attached for an entire day for infection to be passed on to the person.
Sexual transmission is anecdotally reported - but there is no medical proof for this (although this could be due to lack of research rather than lack of validity!).
The one human-human transmission that is commonly recognised is from mother to foetus.
