Borrelia burgdorferi
Borrelia burgdorferi
Top: Borreliaburgdorferi
Scientific Names: The top bacteria is called the Borreliaburgdorferi. The bacteria is a spirochete the causes Lyme disease. It the most common tick disease in the United States. This is a spiral shaped bacteria. It is most likely to be found in North America and Europe. Also, the Borrelia burgdorferi stays on temperate rain forest small mammals and birds.
