Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lyme disease is transmitted by the biological vector transmission, as the bacteria that causes the illness (Borrelia burgdorferi) is carried by infected ticks and transmitted to humans during tick bites. Common vehicle transmission refers to transmission through contaminated objects, such as food or water. Transmission by direct contact refers to person-to-person transmission, while mechanical vector transmission refers to transmission by a vector (such as a fly) that carries the pathogen on its body from one host to another but does not transmit the pathogen through its bite.
