About Ticks and Lyme Disease They are arachnids, not insects. There are hundreds of different kinds of ticks in the world. Many of them carry bacteria, viruses or other pathogens that cause disease in humans and/or animals. In the midwestern and eastern United States, Ixodes scapularis or deer tick is the primary vector of Lyme disease. tick is uniquely suited to carry and spread Lyme disease. Spirochetes have co-evolved with ticks over millions of years. Tick saliva contains immune suppressors that help disseminate the bacteria throughout the host’s body.

Unlike the larva, which are universally Lyme disease-free (they don’t hatch pre-infected), nymphs can become Lyme vectors if the larva attaches to a Lyme disease-bearing host (mice are a common culprit).

Tick Ticks find their hosts by detecting animals' breath and body odors, or by sensing body heat, moisture and vibrations. They are incapable of flying or jumping, but many tick species wait in a position known as questing. While questing, ticks hold on to leaves and grass by their third and fourth pair of legs.icks are vectors of a number of diseases that affect both humans and other animals. Despite their poor reputation among human communities, ticks may play an ecological role by ailing infirm animals and preventing overgrazing of plant resources.

What Causes Dying, Black Grass Slime mold (Physarum cinereum) has a similar appearance to that of greasy spot and affects all turfgrasses. The mold patches start out a light grey or white, but as spores grow on the grass blades they turn from gray to black.
