Lyme disease tick
Lyme disease tick. Computer graphic illustration of the tick Ixodes ricinus, principal vector of Lyme disease in Europe. The head (above centre) contains a pair of palps, between which are barbed blood-sucking mouthparts. This tick is common in Europe and attacks humans, domestic and wild animals. Ixodes ricinus carries the spirochaete bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, cause of both Lyme disease and a closely-related disease known as erythema migrans. Both diseases cause skin lesions, neurological and cardiac abnormalities and recurrent arthritis. In North America Lyme disease is transmitted by the related ticks I. dammini and I. pacificus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Lyme disease tick, specifically the Ixodes ricinus species. Created through computer graphic illustration, this image highlights the principal vector responsible for transmitting Lyme disease in Europe. The tick's head is prominently displayed at the center, featuring a pair of palps and barbed blood-sucking mouthparts between them. Ixodes ricinus is commonly found across Europe and poses a threat to both humans and various domestic and wild animals. This particular tick carries the spirochaete bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is responsible for causing Lyme disease as well as a closely-related condition called erythema migrans. These diseases manifest in skin lesions, neurological and cardiac abnormalities, as well as recurrent arthritis. While North America has its own transmission vectors for Lyme disease (I. dammini and I. pacificus), this image focuses on their European counterpart. With its striking visual representation, this artwork serves not only to captivate viewers but also to educate about these pathogenic arachnids' role in spreading infectious diseases. The Science Photo Library brings together elements from nature, animal life, zoology, medicine, artistry, and graphics to create informative visuals like this one that shed light on important scientific subjects such as parasites and medical conditions caused by ticks like Ixodes ricinus carrying Borrelia burgdorferi - an essential tool for researchers or anyone interested in understanding these complex topics further.
