Description
This is a light micrograph of a mature male deer tick, Ixodes dammini, the vector for Lyme disease. Through its bite, it transfers the bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi. This is its normal and natural coloration. Symptoms of this disease include skin lesions, cardiac and neurological abnormalities, and arthritis. Lyme disease is carried by I. scapularis in north and mid-west USA; and in Europe by the tick I. ricinus.
