More Information About Lyme Disease
What Is It? Lyme (lime) disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by the bite of an infected tick. It may cause a number of medical conditions, including arthritis, nerve or heart problems. Early detection can prevent more serious disease. What Are the Symptoms? Learn to recognize symptoms because ticks are very small, you are more likely to recognize early symptoms, rather than notice the tick bite. Early symptoms (seven to ten days):
  • An illness with flu-like symptoms during spring and summer. A skin rash which varies in size, shape and color, but often looks like a "bull's eye." Joint or muscle pain
Later symptoms (months to years):
  • Arthritis, especially in knees.

Disease Index NJ InTouch Lyme Disease What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease is a bacterial disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi (boar-ELL-ee-uh burg-dorf-ERR-eye). The bacterium is transmitted to humans via a tick bite. Within 1 to 2 weeks after being infected, a "bull's-eye" rash can develop at the tick bite site accompanied by fever, headache, and muscle or joint pain. Some people may have Lyme disease and not have any early symptoms. However, others can have a fever and other "flu-like" symptoms without a rash. Who gets Lyme disease? Anyone who is bitten by a tick carrying the bacteria can get Lyme disease. Proper removal of a biting tick from the skin within 48 hours of being bitten can reduce the risk of disease transmission. How is Lyme disease spread? What are the symptoms of Lyme disease? How soon do symptoms occur? The red "bull's-eye" rash (erythema migrans) usually appears 7 to 14 days following the tick bite. Some patients present with later manifestations without having had early signs of disease. How is Lyme disease diagnosed?

"We recommend daily tick checks. If you're able to get it off within 24 hours of it first biting you, you seriously decrease your risk of getting Lyme disease."
Dr. Erin Staples, CDC
(CBS/AP) Lyme disease has climbed to its highest level on record in the United States, in part because of the building of more and more homes in the woods, the government reported Thursday.
During 2002, a total of 23,763 cases were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — up 40 percent from the previous year.
"It is the highest number that we've had so far," Dr. Erin Staples, a CDC researcher, told CBS Radio News , calling alarming. Lyme disease bacteria are transmitted to humans by ticks that are carried by deer. The CDC attributed the rise in cases to "better reporting, better recognition by physicians, people are spreading into tick habitats ... some increase in the deer population that carries the tick, as well as you're getting some spread of the ticks themselves," Staples said. Lyme disease was named in 1977 when a cluster was identified in Lyme, Conn. The 2002 cases were mainly in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and north-central states. Only Hawaii, Montana and Oklahoma reported no cases in 2002.

Lyme Disease What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease is a bacterial disease transmitted by infected ticks. It was first recognized in the United States in 1975 after a mysterious outbreak of arthritis near Old Lyme, Connecticut. Since then, reports of Lyme disease have increased dramatically, and the disease has become an important public health problem. How does a person get Lyme disease? Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick, which also is known as the black-legged tick. (Not all ticks carry the bacterium, and a bite does not always result in the development of Lyme disease. However, since it is impossible to tell by sight which ticks are infected, it is important to avoid tick bites whenever possible.) Immature deer ticks can be very small, about the size of the head of a pin; adult deer ticks are slightly larger. Both can be infected with and transmit Lyme disease. Deer ticks acquire the bacteria by feeding primarily on small mammals infected with the bacteria, particularly the white-footed mouse. (Domestic animals can become infected with the Lyme disease bacteria and some may develop arthritis, e.g., dogs, cattle and horses.) (click image for a larger view)

BACKGROUND Introduction
Lyme disease (LD) is a tick-borne zoonosis caused by the spirochaete bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi . Since the disease was first recognised in 1975 it has become the most frequently reported human tick-borne infection worldwide. It has been reported from every continent (except Antarctica) although doubt remains as to whether it occurs in the southern hemisphere in general, and in Australia in particular.
Ecology
LD is transmitted to humans by ticks. Larval and nymphal stages feed on infected reservoir hosts, acquire the organism and then, after moulting to the next life stage (nymphs and adults respectively), pass on the infection to humans and other animals. In the northern hemisphere, small placental mammals are reservoir hosts. The only species of ticks shown to be competent vectors of B.burgdorferi to humans belong to the Ixodes persulcatus complex, including

We have learned since then that clinical disease also occurs in dogs and, to a lesser extent, in horses, cattle, and cats, while many wildlife mammals and birds become subclinically infected and serve as reservoirs for tick infection. During the 1980s the disease incidence in both dogs and humans increased dramatically; Lyme disease is now the most common arthropod-borne disease of humans in the United States, and one of the most common in dogs. What causes Lyme disease? Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a corkscrew-shaped bacterium of the spirochete group. Among the spirochetes, it is most closely related to B. hermsii, which causes tick-borne relapsing fever in the southwestern United States. Better known but more distantly related spirochetes cause such diseases as leptospirosis and syphilis. How is the disease transmitted?

May 2004 Other clinical symptoms and environmental conditions suggested that this was an infectious disease probably transmitted by an arthropod. Further investigation revealed that Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi . These bacteria are transmitted to humans by the bite of infected deer ticks and caused more than 23,000 infections in the United States in 2002.

Black-legged Tick (I. scapularis) Lyme disease, also known in medical circles as Borreliosis , is a bacterial disease that is carried by ticks, and affects both humans and animals. This disease was diagnosed in dogs in 1984, and diagnosed in humans in 1975. The disease got its name from a community in Connecticut, that was particularly hard hit by this disease, Lyme. Since this time, Lyme disease has spread throughout the U.S., and is the most common tick borne disease. Ticks are regarded as a carrier of the disease, but it is fairly certain that ticks become infected with this bacteria by biting mice. When the ticks bites another host, the bacterium is then transferred to the blood of the host animal. The rapid spread of Lyme disease has several explanations. When one area becomes infected, the wildlife traveling through that area, become transports for the disease carrying tick. Migratory birds, deer, mice, dogs, all have helped spread the disease. Even humans walking through the woods on a camping trip, hike or a simple nature walk, carry back the ticks that carry the Lyme disease. Ticks can be found in fields, especially ones that are not being worked, secluded woods with low-lying brush and bramble, and marshlands. The risk factor of coming into contact with a tick infected with Lyme varies with the season (spring, summer,etc.) and the region you live in. When the temperature is above 40 degrees the ticks become active and feed. For most of the U.S., the high risk months are from April until November.
