Several diseases are caused by spirella bacteria. Two known diseases are Lyme disease and syphilis. Lyme disease is transmitted through bacteria in ticks.
Ticks get infected with the Lyme disease bacteria when they feed on an infected animal, such as mice or deer. The bacteria then multiply and are passed on to other hosts, including humans, through the tick's bite while feeding.
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.
rickettsia
Bacteria are not vectors that carry viral diseases.
No.
No, Lyme disease is caused by a type of bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, not a fungus. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks.
No. They just spread diseases and can cause infections.
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.
Erlichia are obligate intracellular bacteria, carried by ticks, which infect white blood cells.
Both. Ticks are essentially parasites and can have bacteria that may affect a deer's health. Too many ticks can also harm a deer.
