Borrelia's bacteria are transmitted through flea intermediates, often through the genus Ixodes sp. Or in some cases, through the tick of Ambylomma sp. Ixodes are

lice that have the ability to suck blood as food, both human blood and animal blood. Bacteria Borrelia is usually transmitted by Ixodes lice.
