How many stages are in the chain of infection?
Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis is a bacterial infection caused by several species of bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia. These bacteria are maintained in nature in the bodies of wild animals and transmitted from one animal to another by tick bites. Humans and pets are incidental hosts to ticks. The early phase of the disease begins at the site of the tick bite with an expanding ring of redness which often resembles a bull's-eye, with a red ring surrounding a clear area and a red center. Later it can affect the skin, joints, heart, and the nervous system. The body does not maintain a natural immunity to the disease. Thus, a person can be re-infected with the disease on subsequent tick bites.
