Now in the course all about Lyme disease, I will focus on the tick and tick lives. The Lyme disease tick is a heartache Shown here are the male and female deer ticks. The other tick feeds on the deer therefore it is also known as deer tick. This insect is an arthropod with an exoskeleton and eight legs. It belongs to the class of arachnids. And the tick is the main vector for Lyme disease but it also transmits other diseases.

It belongs to the genus is zoetis and the species is zoetis capillaries. This tick cannot only catch with Lyme disease because it carries a stroke in borrelia burgdorferi, but it can also transmit other diseases as it can serve the vector For other parasites and bacteria let us look at the stages of the tick. The Tick has several stages of development that takes that hatch from eggs hatch as largely the larva molds into a name. The name then molds it to an adult. Yet Shown here are adult male and adult female ticks. All these stages occur at different seasons of the year as we shall see in the next slide.

And now the exciting part of the tip life cycle. It all begins in the spring when eggs are laid. The adult female lays eggs during the spring as shown in the inner circle of the spiral the Lord hatch during the summer and feed on animals such as birds and mice. The following spring the larva moves into a limb that following summer, as it feeds on different holes. It is also we humans come into contact with the name and we become the accidental ghost with the following for the new floors into another. Other pigs feed on larger animals such as a deer during the following winter.

In this season as well, there is a chance of humans being unintentionally hit by the next spring. adult male and female male and the female take place at the start. The life cycle all over again. Now that we have come to know more about the life cycle, it is time for us to learn more about the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
