Watching Lyme disease-causing microbes move in ticks

(Journal of Clinical Investigation) Lyme disease is caused by the microbe Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans from feeding ticks. Researchers have now visualized the microbe moving through the feeding tick and determined that it has a biphasic mode of dissemination. Information such as this is essential if new methods of preventing human infection with Borrelia burgdorferi are to be developed.
