Lyme disease is caused by the Borrelia bacteria, which is transmitted through tick bites; these ticks have existed in North America for centuries. Historical accounts and studies suggest that the disease may have been present among indigenous populations, although it was not recognized or documented as Lyme disease until more recent times.
