Afric tryp 1a DPDxi Two areas from a blood smear from a patient with African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). Thin blood smear stained with Giemsa. Typical trypomastigote stages (the only stages found in patients), with a posterior kinetoplast, a centrally located nucleus, an undulating membrane, and an anterior flagellum. The two Trypanosoma brucei species that cause human trypanosomiasis, T. b. gambiense and T. b. rhodesiense, are indistinguishable morphologically.

Borrelia burgdorferi Using darkfield microscopy technique, this photomicrograph, magnified 400x, reveals the presence of spirochete, or ?corkscrew-shaped? bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi, which is the pathogen responsible for causing Lyme disease. Borrelia burgdorferi are helical shaped bacteria, and are about 10-25µm long. These bacteria are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected deer tick, and caused more than 23,000 cases of Lyme disease in the United States during 2002.

Borrelia drawing Borrelia drawing (Borrelia burgdorferi) ; Borrelia is a genus of bacteria of the spirochete phylum. It causes borreliosis, a zoonotic, vector-borne disease transmitted primarily by ticks and some by lice, depending on the species. There are 36 known species of Borrelia.
