Can ticks carry more than one infection at a time?
A.4 – Yes. Ticks can carry a number of infective organisms concurrently. They ingest these organisms from the wildlife hosts that they feed on during their life cycle. Some organisms have the ability to be passed on from an adult female tick through her eggs to the next generation, and through each stage of the tick’s life.
