Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium carried by mammals and birds. It is transmitted by the bite of an infected tick.

If it is transmitted to humans it can occasionally lead to serious illness if not quickly diagnosed and treated. Lyme disease was given its name in 1975 after a cluster of cases were reported at ‘Old Lyme’ in Connecticut, USA.

The disease has now been reported in a number of European countries including Great Britain and, although still rare, the number of reported cases is rising each year.
