1·If a tick is infected (determined by testing at a proficient laboratory) and the tick is engorged, infection by Lyme disease spirochetes is highly likely and treatment may be seriously considered.
如果一只蜱虫被传染了(由精通的实验室检验决定)并且这只蜱虫还吸满了血，那么被莱姆病螺旋体传染的可能性就非常高，而且可能需要考虑非常严重的治疗方法。
2·The probability of transmission of Lyme disease spirochetes increases the longer an infected tick is attached 0% at 24 hours, 12% at 48 hours, 79% at.
随着带病毒蜱虫附着人体时间增加，莱姆螺旋体感染几率也随之提升(24小时0%，48小时12%，72小时79%，96小时则高达94%。)幼虱作用人体约需30小时，成虫仅需10小时，幼虱约是成虫的2倍。
3·of which 10-36% may be infected with Lyme disease spirochetes.
大部分（约98%）莱姆病和鹿虱幼虫叮咬有关，其中10-36%可能感染莱姆病螺旋体。
4·The same tick species collected from different sites were similarly incapable of maintaining live Lyme spirochetes.
同种蜱不同地理株在感染和保持莱姆病螺旋体的能力上也没有差异。
