Ticks don't 'cause' Lyme disease. Lyme disease is caused by a group of spirochete bacteria (namely: Borrelia burgdorferisensu lato). Ticks are only the vectors(=carriers) of these pathogens. The main vectors are deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in North America, and sheep ticks (Ixodes ricinus) in Europe.
