What transmits lyme disease?
Ticks don't 'cause' Lyme disease. Lyme disease is caused by a group of spirochete bacteria (namely: Borrelia burgdorferisensu lato). Ticks are only the vectors(=carriers) of these pathogens. The main vectors are deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in North America, and sheep ticks (Ixodes ricinus) in Europe.
What if you dont have a animal can you still get lyme disease?
Yes. Ticks carry the spirochete that causes Lyme Disease. A walk through an area with thick bushes or a wooded area or trail can result in a tick biting a human. The tick actually transmits the spirochete, called Borrelia burgdorferi.
Does b burgdorferi produce endospores?
B. burgdorferi is a spirochete and doesn't produce endospores. It is the cause of Lyme's Disease which is carried by a tick. The microbe is found in the saliva of the tick. It is passed with the bite of the tick.
Can you get lyme disease from removing a tick?
Yes. Lyme disease is a multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted from one animal to another through the bite of the infective tick.
What is borrelly?
Borrelia is also called Lyme disease and it is a result of a tick bite.

What bacteria caused lyme disease?
Lyme Disease is caused by a bacteria transmitted by ticks. In the United States, the bacteria responsible is known as Borrealia burgdorferi. In Europe, it is most often referred to as Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii.There are about 11 species of the Borrelia bacteria but just 3 are known to carry the bacteria.The Borrelia carriers of this disease are Deer Ticks and Sheep ticks. When these infected ticks bite animals such as Sheep and the same is consumed by humans, we become infected with the disease.

What tick carries lyme diseases?
