The disease is caused by a spirochete bacteria. It is related to the syphilis bacteria.
It can be transmitted by either adult or nymph, but the adult has has two chances to get the disease. It is extremely unlikely for a larva to have the disease since it is not transmitted from mother to the eggs/larvae except at extremely low levels.
The larvae and nymphs do not usually climb vegetation like the adults. The larvae and nymphs can usually be found under leaves or close to the soil. They dry out quickly compared to some tick species like the dog tick and lone star tick. Animals like birds, lizards, mice, rabbits, and raccoons that shuffle through the mat of fallen growth are the most likely to pick them up.
Prompt identification and treatment is necessary because the disease is more difficult to treat once it penetrates the blood-brain barrier. It can take as long as 6-8 weeks before seroconversion occurs. This is the amount of time it takes before antibodies to the lyme bacteria can be detected in the blood. It is the presence these antibodies they use to detect the disease using methods like ELISA. So if you even suspect Lyme disease you should get prophylactic treatment because any tests run before seroconversion will show up negative.
The following is to lessen the risk of any tick bites. Be sure to check yourself after going outside. Wear fine weave hosiery socks and white pants will help spot them. blouse the socks over your pant legs with a rubber band. Wearing a second thicker pair of socks will also help.
A roll of broad (2-3")masking tape rolled backward in a loop to expose the adhesive can be used to remove large numbers of larvae if you happen to tread over an egg hatching on species like the lone star tick and dog tick. A hatching egg mass can have as many as 5-7,000 larvae.
