Approximately 20-30% of adult blacklegged ticks carry Lyme disease. It's important to take preventive measures when spending time in areas where ticks are prevalent, such as wearing long sleeves and using insect repellent.
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.
Blacklegged ticks are carriers of lyme disease
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).
Lyme disease is typically spread by deer ticks, which are found throughout Georgia. Therefore, it is possible to contract Lyme disease in any part of Georgia where these ticks are present. It is important to take precautions such as wearing insect repellent and checking for ticks after outdoor activities.
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.
