Zusammenfassung

Die Erreger der Lyme-Borreliose sind spiralförmige Bakterien, die der Bakteriologe Willy Burgdorfer 1981 entdeckte und ihm zu Ehren den Namen Borrelia burgdorferi erhielten. Die Infektionskrankheit kommt in der gesamten nördlichen Halbkugel vor, die Erreger werden von Zecken übertragen. Die Epidemiologie der Krankheit ist komplex, weil das Bakterium in den unterschiedlichsten Wirten lebt.
