Lyme disease is an infection caused by a spirochete (spiral-shaped bacterium) that is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected Ixodes tick. It is called "The Great Imitator" because its symptoms mimic many other diseases. Lyme disease is now the most common tick-transmitted infection, with 16,461 cases were reported to the Centers of Disease Control in 1996. Over 109,000 cases have been recorded since the disease became reportable. The true incidence is likely many times greater. Where is Lyme disease found? Lyme disease has been found on every continent except Antarctica. It is found all across the United States, with a particularly high incidence along the East Coast, where it was first identified in the coastal Connecticut town of Old Lyme. Parts of the Midwest and the West Coast also have a high incidence. In the South, until recently public health authorities have been reluctant to admit that Lyme disease exists, although a Lyme-like disease was being reported. However, new research has identified ticks and animals in the South that carry Lyme disease, so it should become easier to report cases. Within any endemic area, the tick infection rate shows considerable local variation, depending on type of habitat, presence of wildlife, and other factors. How is Lyme disease transmitted?

KidsHealth Parents Infections Lyme disease is an infection caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi . The bacterium, a type of spirochete, is spread by Ixodes ticks (black-legged or deer ticks in the eastern United States and western black-legged ticks in the west), which acquire the bacteria from mice and infect humans by biting and regurgitating the bacteria into their bloodstream. These ticks are smaller than dog ticks and harder to detect. Immature ticks, or nymphs, are about the size of a poppy seed; adult ticks are the size of a sesame seed. The majority of reported Lyme disease cases occur in the northeastern and upper midwestern areas of the United States because these two zones and the Pacific Northwest are the natural habitat of the Ixodes tick and its carriers. Some cases of Lyme disease have also been reported in the southeastern and southern midwestern states, although the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) considers these low-risk areas. According to CDC, the states that report the most cases of Lyme disease are: Connecticut Delaware Maryland Massachusetts Minnesota New York New Jersey Pennsylvania Rhode Island Wisconsin Some cases of Lyme disease have also been reported in Asia, northern and southern Europe, and parts of Canada.

45. Lyme Disease With warmer temperatures ahead, you ll hear a lot about lyme disease, so read our new article for kids to get the lowdown on lyme disease. http://kidshealth.org/kid/ill_injure/sick/lyme_disease.html

KidsHealth Kids I Feel Sick! You may be wondering exactly what Lyme disease is all about and how a kid can get it. Well, it has nothing to do with limes, the tart green fruit your parents put into their water! You can't catch Lyme disease from a friend (unless your friends are bugs - that's another issue!). Read our article to get the lowdown on Lyme disease. So What Is Lyme Disease? Lyme disease is an infection caused by bacteria that live inside some ticks. If a tick that is carrying Lyme disease bites you, the bacteria, called spirochetes say spy -ro-keets), can get into your body and cause you to develop Lyme disease. The name comes from Old Lyme, Connecticut, in the United States, the town where the disease was first discovered. Ticks Want to Suck Your Blood If you're outside playing in a grassy or wooded area, you might see a tick, a tiny 8-legged arthropod say ar -threh-pod) that looks like a speck of dirt, and may be no bigger than the head of a pin. Normally, ticks feed on mice, dogs, horses, and sometimes other animals, and every once in awhile they choose people for their meal! A tick will latch onto an area of your bare skin, usually in a place where you won't notice it right away, and feed on your blood (kind of like a vampire!). The bite itself is painless. You probably won't even know the tick is feeding. After an infected tick bites you, it pumps water out of its mouth to lower its body weight (it's heavier from the blood it's just sucked out of you). Then the tick spits the spirochetes into you. If the tick has been there awhile (more than a day), you might get Lyme disease - and the symptoms of that can be painful.

Dunn, Jr. DVM Lyme Disease in dogs: Transmitted through the bite of a tick, Borrelia burgdorferi is the scientific name of the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease. These microscopic bacteria are a type called spirochete... they have a coiled or cork-screw appearance under the microscope. The disease is actually named after the town in Connecticut where an early outbreak was first described... Lyme, Connecticut. (Remember, ticks don't cause the disease, they merely harbor and transmit the bacteria that cause the disease.) And being fussy little bacteria, not just any ol' genus of tick will do as a carrier. At least three known species of ticks can transmit Lyme Disease. However, the great majority of Lyme Disease transmissions are due to the bite of a very tiny tick commonly called the Deer Tick, or Black-legged Tick. Its scientific name is Ixodes (pronounced eye-zod-ease) scapularis . Lyme Disease in dogs has been reported in every state but certain geographical areas are much more likely to harbor bacteria-carrying ticks than others.

Return to Communicable Disease Home Page From the ... What's New Lyme Disease (tick-borne borreliosis, Lyme arthritis) Further Information Wadsworth Center for Laboratories and Research What is Lyme Disease? Lyme disease is caused by bacteria transmitted by the deer tick ( Ixodes scapularis ). Lyme disease may cause symptoms affecting the skin, nervous system, heart and/or joints of an individual. Over 45,000 cases have been reported to the New York State Department of Health since Lyme disease became reportable in 1986. Who gets Lyme Disease? Lyme disease can affect people of any age. People who spend time in grassy and wooded environments are at an increased risk of exposure. The chances of being bitten by a deer tick are greater during times of the year when ticks are most active. Young deer ticks, called nymphs, are active from mid-May to mid-August and are about the size of poppy seeds. Adult ticks, which are approximately the size of sesame seeds, are most active from March to mid-May and from mid-August to November. Both nymphs and adults can transmit Lyme disease. Ticks can be active any time the temperature is above freezing. Infected deer ticks can be found throughout New York State. How is Lyme disease transmitted?

Lyme disease has been increasing since reporting began in 1991 as people move closer to deer tick habitats and the range of the ticks themselves has grown. At the same time, doctors have become more alert to Lyme disease and are better at diagnosing it early, says epidemiologist Erin Staples of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
