Lyme disease is spread by :
Answer: D
Lyme disease is spread by ticks.
It is caused by the spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted by the bite of hard ticks of the genus Ixodes (deer ticks). The first sign is often a spreading 'bull's-eye' rash (erythema migrans), followed if untreated by arthritis, heart and nerve problems. It is named after the town of Lyme, Connecticut.
Bed bugs and leeches do not transmit it, and mosquitoes carry other diseases such as malaria, dengue and filariasis.
