Sheep tick, SEM
Sheep tick. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus). The ticks mouthparts are between its two front legs. This arachnid is the principal vector of Lyme disease, which is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, in Europe. It is common in the damp underbrush of European woods and attacks various domestic and wild animals, including dogs and humans. Lyme disease causes skin lesions, neurological and cardiac abnormalities, and recurrent arthritis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a sheep tick, captured using a scanning electron microscope. The vibrant colors bring to life this arachnid, known as Ixodes ricinus, which plays a significant role in transmitting Lyme disease throughout Europe. Positioned between its two front legs are the ticks' mouthparts, highlighting its parasitic nature. Found commonly in the damp underbrush of European woods, this blood-sucking creature targets both domestic and wild animals including dogs and humans. Its ability to transmit Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria makes it the principal vector for Lyme disease. This debilitating illness can lead to skin lesions, neurological and cardiac abnormalities, as well as recurrent arthritis. The image not only provides an up-close look at this fascinating zoological specimen but also serves as a reminder of the delicate balance within our natural world. By studying these parasites through advanced microscopy techniques like SEM, scientists gain valuable insights into their biology and behavior. Displayed against a clean background with cut-out precision, this false-colored photograph allows us to appreciate the beauty hidden within even the tiniest creatures that coexist with us on Earth. It is through such scientific exploration that we deepen our understanding of nature's intricacies while striving towards better prevention and treatment strategies for diseases transmitted by these ecto-parasites.
