Which of the following is associated with the increased incidence of Lyme disease?
A. Decreased tick population
B. Decreased deer population
C. Decreased white-footed mouse population
D. Decreased forest patch size
Homework Answers
answer:
D. Decreased forest patch size
in fragmented farest biodiversity decreases and there are fever predators like coyotes. in this environment ,the mouse multiplies , and in turn both ticks and lyme disease thrive.

How is forest fragmentation linked to the rise of Lyme

Lyme disease is caused by infections of the bacterium
Borrelia burgdorferi which is transferred to humans via
blood-sucking bites from the tick, Ixodes scapularis. Lyme
disease can cause flu-like symptoms in the short term and more
serious illnesses in the long term, if not treated. Why is Lyme
disease on the rise in eastern North America?

Question 15 2 pts The deer tick, Ixodes scapularis, transmits the Lyme disease bacterium. This tick produces an unusual amidase enzyme that digests the Lyme bacterium's cell walls, preventing the bacterium from multiplying much in ticks. Molecular analysis reveals that the gene encoding this enzyme is phylogenetically related to bacterial genes that bacteria use to compete against each other. No other animal gene resembles this amidase enzyme gene. How did this gene evolve in ticks? Like most genes, via repeated...
