Composite image of a tick and a Borrelia bacterium
Lyme disease tick. Composite image of a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Lyme disease tick (Ixodes sp. orange) on a plant leaf. A coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the bacterium responsible for the disease (Borrelia burgdorferi, yellow) is in upper frame. A computer artwork of a human heart is at lower right, as Lyme disease causes heart problems such as arrhythmias and angina. The tick is a vector for the bacteria, which it transmits as it travels from host to host drinking blood. The disease causes a red papule at the site of the bite, and arthritis and neurological and cardiac disorders follow. Magnification (tick): x20 at 6x7cm size. Magnification: x20 at 6x6xm - is 6.5x6cm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate relationship between a tick and the Borrelia bacterium, which is responsible for Lyme disease. The composite image combines a coloured scanning electron micrograph of an orange Lyme disease tick resting on a vibrant plant leaf with a coloured transmission electron micrograph of the yellow Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium in the upper frame. Adding to its artistic appeal, a computer artwork depicting a human heart can be seen at the lower right corner, symbolizing one of the severe consequences of this illness. The tick acts as a vector for transmitting these harmful bacteria as it moves from host to host while feeding on blood. Upon biting, it causes red papules at the site and triggers various disorders such as arthritis, neurological issues, and even cardiac complications like arrhythmias and angina. With magnification levels set at x20 and dimensions measuring 6x7cm (tick) and 6.5x6cm (bacterium), this photograph allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within nature's smallest creatures. It serves as an educational tool shedding light on not only wildlife biology but also highlighting health concerns associated with ticks and their role in spreading diseases like Lyme disease.
