What transmits lyme disease?

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.

How come only the Deer tick causes Lyme Disease?

Lyme disease is primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is predominantly transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, commonly known as deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis). Other tick species can carry similar bacteria, but they do not efficiently transmit Lyme disease. The ecological and behavioral characteristics of deer ticks, such as their specific host preferences and feeding habits, contribute to their role as the main vectors for this disease. Thus, while other ticks may pose health risks, deer ticks are the primary transmitters of Lyme disease.

Why are adult ticks less likely to cause Lyme disease?

the adult ticks are much larger, more easily noticed, and more likely to be removed before the 24 hours or more of continuous feeding needed to transmit Borrelia burgdorferi
