Die Lyme-Borreliose oder Lyme-Krankheit ist eine Infektionskrankheit, die durch das Bakterium Borrelia burgdorferi aus der Gruppe der Spirochäten ausgelöst wird. Die Borrelien ziehen sich schon bald nach der Infektion aus dem Blutkreislauf in das Gewebe zurück. Es kann jedes Organ, das Nervensystem, die Gelenke und das Gewebe befallen werden. Deshalb spricht man bei dieser Erkrankung auch von einer multisystemischen Krankheit. Die Erkrankung kommt beim Menschen und allen anderen Säugetieren sowie Vögeln vor. Die Übertragung erfolgt vor allem durch den Holzbock oder eine Zeckenart.

English: People who spend time in grassy and wooded environments are at an increased risk of exposure. The chances of being bitten by a deer tick are greater during times of the year when ticks are most active. Young deer ticks, called nymphs, are active from mid-May to mid-August and are about the size of poppy seeds. Adult ticks, which are approximately the size of sesame seeds, are most active from March to mid-May and from mid-August to November. Both nymphs and adults can transmit Lyme disease. Ticks can be active any time the temperature is above freezing. The disease can be spread when an infected tick bites a person and stays attached for a period of time. In most cases, the tick must be attached for 36 hours or more before the bacteria can be transmitted. Lyme disease does not spread from one person to another.

Die Lyme-Borreliose oder Lyme-Krankheit ist eine Infektionskrankheit, die durch das Bakterium Borrelia burgdorferi aus der Gruppe der Spirochäten ausgelöst wird. Der Erreger Borrelia burgdorferi ist eng verwandt mit Treponema pallidum, dem Erreger der Syphilis. Die Borrelien ziehen sich schon bald nach der Infektion aus dem Blutkreislauf in das Gewebe zurück. Es kann jedes Organ, das Nervensystem, die Gelenke und das Gewebe befallen werden. Deshalb spricht man bei dieser Erkrankung auch von einer multisystemischen Krankheit. Die Erkrankung kommt beim Menschen und allen anderen Säugetieren sowie Vögeln vor. Die Übertragung erfolgt vor allem durch eine Zeckenart
English: Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. Borrelia is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. Early symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, depression, and a characteristic circular skin rash called erythema migrans. Left untreated, later symptoms may involve the joints, heart, and central nervous system. In most cases, the infection and its symptoms are eliminated by antibiotics, especially if the illness is treated early.
