What carriers is a vector of Lyme disease?

The primary vectors of Lyme disease are black-legged ticks, also known as deer ticks, particularly the Ixodes scapularis species in the eastern U.S. and Ixodes pacificus in the western U.S. These ticks typically become infected with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria after feeding on infected animals, such as mice and deer, and can transmit the bacteria to humans through bites. Other tick species can also carry Lyme disease, but the black-legged tick is the most significant vector.
