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.
Can you get Lyme poising from concrete?
No, you cannot get Lyme poisoning from concrete. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted through the bite of infected ticks, not through contact with concrete. Concrete does not harbor or transmit the bacteria associated with 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
Is there Lyme disease in Israel?
Yes, Lyme disease has been reported in Israel. It is primarily found in the northern part of the country where there are wooded areas and suitable habitats for the ticks that transmit the disease. Precautions such as wearing protective clothing and using insect repellent can help prevent Lyme disease in Israel.
What are carriers of lyme disease?
Blacklegged ticks are carriers of lyme disease
Do deer transmit lyme disease?
No, but theyre part of the life cycle. Deer ticks transmit lyme disease

How lyme disease is spread?
Lyme Disease is mainly spread through deer ticks. but it can be in any ticks
Do ticks live in the coniferous forest?
Well, let's follow this line of reasoning. Deer ticks cause Lyme disease,deer live in the forest with coniferous trees, the ticks live on the deer, so I would say yes.
Do bees carrier lyme's?
No. Deer ticks carry Lyme disease.
What animal spreads lyme disease?
Mainly Ticks
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.
Can you get lyme disease from ticks?
sadly yes..... they can.
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
