The intensity ofBorrelia burgdorferitransmission in nature is dependent upon the efficiency of acquisition of spirochetes by larvalIxodes scapularisSay (=I. damminiSpielman, Clifford, Piesman & Corwin). White-footed mice infected withB. burgdorferiwere infested weekly for 5 consecutive weeks with 25 or 250 larvalI. scapularis.Prevalence of infection in nymphs derived from larvae fed at high density (25.0–38.9%) was consistently higher than in nymphs derived from larvae fed at low density (6.7–23.5%). Spirochete prevalence in nymphalI. scapularispopulations in nature may be influenced by larval population density.
