Is it only ticks that carry Borreliosis?
A.7 – No. Borrelia bacteria have been isolated from insects (such as sand flies and fleas), and from stored semen, milk, urine, other body fluids and faecal matter. However, much more study needs to be done to establish if these are modes of transmission. Ticks can also carry other infections concurrently and so it is possible to contract more than one infection from a single bite.
