[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease Lyme disease] is the most pervasive tick-borne disease in Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia (Couette et al. 2009). It is a multistage infection caused by the spirochete [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borrelia_burgdorferi Borrelia burgdorferi]. Early symptoms include headaches, depression, rash, and fever. If Lyme disease is left untreated serious complications of the joints, heart and central nervous system can occur. Infected [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixodes Ixodes ticks] in their nymph stage transmit Lyme disease by attaching to humans and other mammals (Lab tutor). In most cases, the tick must be attached for 36-48 hours before the bacteria can be transmitted (CDC website).
