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。

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。

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。

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。
