Sheep tick, SEM
Sheep tick. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a nymph of the sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus). A nymph is the sexually immature stage preceding the larger adult stage. This tick is a blood-sucking parasite of animals and humans, and the principal vector of Lyme disease in Europe. Sensory mouthparts (lower left) cover its long, barbed hypostome that it uses to suck blood from its host. The body is covered by a hard carapace, and the four pairs of legs are also seen on each side of the body. The adult female form of this tick sucks blood from humans. Lyme disease occurs when the biting tick transmits a bacterium to humans, causing fever, muscle pain and inflamed joints. Magnification: x95 when printed 10cm wide.
