How does the bacteria that causes Lymes disease enter a deer tick?

According to the CDC's profile on Lyme disease, the bacteria that commonly causes the disease is known as Borrelia burgdorferi. Upon searching elsewhere for more specific information about the bacterium, I found an excerpt from an article published in 2012 in the journal Nature Reviews Microbiology. The full article is titled: Of ticks, mice, and men: understanding the dual-host lifestyle of Lyme disease spirochaetes and can be accessed through the archives of the journal's website. The article excerpt contained a diagram and explanation of a deer tick's life cycle. According to the article, deer ticks are infected with the bacteria after feeding on other infected animals such as birds, squirrels, and mice. Once infected, the tick will become a host for the bacterium for the remainder of its life. Interestingly enough though, the diagram indicates that infected female ticks do not transfer the bacteria into their eggs. Every new generation of ticks must acquire their own infection!

What happens if disease-causing bacteria get through a break in the skin and enter the circulatory system?
If the body's immune mechanism is not capable of fighting then the bacteria produces disease.
What is considered a pathogen?
Any organism that causes a disease to it's host is considered to be a pathogen. A pathogen can be a bacteria, virus or a fungus. For example Bacterium -Strep Throat and Meningitis Virus - Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C Fungus - Athelete's Foot
What do pathogens cause?
Many pathogens enter the body through the mouth and nose.The linings of the mouth, throat and nose produce mucus which can trap bacteria. This mucus is periodically swallowed and the acid in the stomach kills most of the bacteria. So that's how we get colds and why pathogens make us feel icky and ill.
Can bacteria enter the skin if it is not broken?
yes
What causes Enterobacterial infections?

What is bacilli in English?
Bacilli is now accepted as an English word and refers to bacteria that can enter an animal body and cause disease.
Which food bacteria affects the nervous system?
Thousands of types of bacteria are naturally present in our environment. Microorganisms that cause disease are called pathogens. When certain pathogens enter the food supply, they can cause foodborne illness. Not all bacteria cause disease in humans. For example, some bacteria are used beneficially in making cheese and yogurt.
How do your white blood cells disarm foreign bacteria?
The WBC's (White Blood Cells) enter the area with the bacteria. When the reach, they give off antibodies, which then go and attach to the bacteria. This stops the bacteria. Then the macrophages, or the largest WBC's devour the bacteria along with the antibodies. A chemical in the macrophage causes the bacteria to dissolve.
How do infections begin?
Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply.
How can impetigo cause disease?
Impetigo can cause other diseases by weakening the immune system, allowing other forms of bacteria and viruses to enter the body.

What causes pelvic inflammatory disease.?
Normally, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to the internal reproductive organs. If the cervix is exposed to a sexually transmitted disease -- such as gonorrhea and/or chlamydia -- the cervix itself becomes infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms to the internal organs. PID occurs when the disease-causing organisms travel from the cervix to the upper genital tract. Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause about 90% of all cases of PID. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures.
How can a cut in the skin lead to an infection?
The cut allows a passage way for bacteria to enter your body. The bacteria enter. The infection forms because of the bacteria.
