Coloured SEM of a tick, Ixodes sp. on plant leaf
Lyme disease tick. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a tick (Ixodes sp.) on a plant leaf. At centre is the long saw-like proboscis (hypostome) the tick uses to puncture the skin and suck blood. The tick is common in Europe and attacks humans, domestic and wild animals. Ixodes sp. ticks can carry the spirochaete bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, cause of both Lyme disease and a closely-related disease known as erythema migrans. Both diseases cause skin lesions, neurological and cardiac abnormalities, and recurrent arthritis. Magnification: x24 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an Ixodes sp. tick, commonly known as the Lyme disease tick, perched on a delicate plant leaf. The intricate details captured in this image are truly mesmerizing. At the center of attention lies the elongated saw-like proboscis, also known as the hypostome, which enables the tick to pierce through skin and feed on blood. Ixodes sp. ticks are prevalent in Europe and pose a threat to both humans and various domestic and wild animals. What makes these tiny creatures even more menacing is their ability to carry Borrelia burgdorferi, a spirochaete bacteria responsible for causing Lyme disease as well as erythema migrans - a closely-related ailment. Both diseases manifest with skin lesions, neurological complications, cardiac abnormalities, and recurring arthritis. With its magnification at x24 within a 6x7cm frame size, this photograph offers an up-close glimpse into the world of arachnids while shedding light on their role as vectors for harmful pathogens like Borrelia burgdorferi. It serves not only as an awe-inspiring piece of nature photography but also acts as a reminder of the importance of understanding these organisms' impact on human health.
