Lyme disease is not caused by a mutation; it is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected ticks, primarily the black-legged tick. The disease is characterized by symptoms such as fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash. While genetic mutations can occur in the bacteria or the host's immune response, the disease itself is primarily linked to the ecological interactions between ticks, hosts, and the Borrelia bacterium.
