Is lyme disease caused by spirilla bacteria?
Lyme disease is not caused by spirilla bacteria. It is caused by spirochete. It is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.
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 type of germ causes Lyme disease?
The causative agent of Lyme Disease is Borrelia burgdorferi, a type of spirochete.For more information about Lyme disease, go to www.lyme.org and http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org
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.
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.
Borrelia is classified as spirochete because it?
axial filament
What caused the Lyme disease?
Borrelia burgdorferi, a spirochete
What diseases do spirochete bacteria cause?
The following is a listing of spirochetes and the diseases caused by each:The spirochete, Leptospira causes Leptospirosis.The spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi causes Lyme Disease.The spirochete, Borrelia recurrentis causes relapsing fever.The spirochete, Treponema pallidum causes syphilis.The spirochete, Treponema pertenue causes yaws.
Is Lyme disease a spiral bacteria?
Yes. Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. This is a spiral bacteria.
Is lyme disease caused by spirilla bacteria?
Lyme disease is not caused by spirilla bacteria. It is caused by spirochete. It is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.
What type of pathogen is Borrelia burgdorferi?
Borrelia Burgdorferi is the most common bacteria that causes Lyme Disease in the United States. it is transmitted through infected ticks. In Europe Lyme Disease is caused by borrella afzelil and borrella garinil.
Do all ticks carry lyme disease?
No. Some brown deer ticks do carry the spirochete that causes Lyme disease. 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.
How is lyme disease transmitted?
Lyme Disease is transmitted to a human through a tick bite if the tick is carrying the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. The tick transmits the spirochete which causes the disease. It is most commonly found in the brown deer tick.

Does lyme disease spread?
Yes. Lyme disease is a tick borne illness that is transmitted from one animal to another through the bite of an infective tick. Lyme disease is a multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted by the tick.
