Borrelia burgdorferi, a spirochete
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.
Yes. Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. This is a spiral bacteria.
Lyme disease is not caused by spirilla bacteria. It is caused by spirochete. It is caused by 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Lyme Disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. This is a spirochete bacterium with a gram negative cell wall structure. These organisms are best viewed by dark-field microscopy.
