Which ticks carry lyme disease?

Several species of ticks can carry and transmit Lyme disease. The primary tick species associated with Lyme disease in North America are the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) in the northeastern and midwestern United States, and the western black-legged tick (Ixodes pacificus) on the West Coast. In Europe, the primary tick species associated with Lyme disease is the castor bean tick (Ixodes ricinus). It is important to note that not all ticks of these species are infected with the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, and not all tick bites result in transmission of the disease.
