Animals spread some infectious diseases to humans. For example, Lyme disease is spread to humans in the bite of a tick. To spread Lyme disease, the tick must feed on the blood of an organism that is infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. The tick then transfers the bacteria to a human when it bites and begins to feed on the blood of the human. What type of infectious agent is the tick that spreads Lyme disease an example of?
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is normally transmitted by ticks. It is caused by a spirochete, which is corkscrew-shaped bacterium called Borrelia Burgdorferi. Lyme disease is also classified as a zoonosis because it is transmitted to humans by ticks who carry the disease.
