What is the name of the bacterium that causes lyme disease how is lyme disease transmitted?
Lyme disease is caused by a group of bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. It is transmitted by ticks (deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in North America, and sheep ticks (Ixodes ricinus) in Europe).
Do all deer ticks carry Lyme's 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.
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.

At what stage does a deer tick get lymes?
Lyme disease is caused by a group of spirochete bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Ticks can get infected by these pathogens while sucking blood on an infected vertebrate. As ticks (well, not all ticks, but the ones that carry Lyme disease) feed at every stage of their lives on a different host, they can get infected at every stage.Some pathogens can circulate transovarially (i.e. an infected female tick's eggs are already infected), but that's not the case with Lyme disease.So basically a larva ('first stage tick') can't be infected until it has fed.Of course the chance of a tick getting infected while feeding on an infected host is not 100%.It's important to know, that if a tick once get infected with Lyme disease, it stays infected all it's life.Plus there's a small chance that a tick can get infected on an uninfected host by 'co-feeding'. That means that a tick basically sucks up the saliva (and also the spirochetes in it) of another tick that's eating nearby.So, the short answer to your question is: ticks can get Lyme disease at every stage.
How and where is lyme disease spread?
Lyme disease is spread by ticks. Lyme disease can be pretty much everywhere.
