A person can get the parasite if they are bitten by an infected tick. The tick must usually stay attached to the skin for more than 24 hours to transmit the parasite. A person can…

infections, transfusions continue to result in considerable morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery.2 Transfusion complications range from simple allergic reactions to ABO incompatibilities resulting in death.5 Blood administration is associated with increased postoperative infection rate, causing longer hospital stays and time to recovery.6 Allogenic transfusions may induce immunosuppression, thus making patients more susceptible to surgical site infections, urinary tract…

reservoirs of the disease, identifying organisms that aid in transmitting the disease from person to person and place to place is also a key determinant of understanding risk exposure. Tick abundance is a great indicator for high rates of Lyme disease infections and other tick-borne diseases. Ticks are currently considered to be second only to mosquitoes as vectors of human infectious diseases in the world (Ostfeld, 2000). Specifically the species responsible for most Lyme disease transmission…
