Ik lees dit: Ook is aangetoond dat een zwangere vrouw die geïnfecteerd is met de Lyme-bacterie, deze kan overdragen op het ongeboren kind.

En dan vind ik dit:
What about Lyme disease in pregnant bitches? We are strongly suggesting a Lyme Western Blot test in bitches before they are bred. First, Lyme disease can be transmitted to the baby from the mother. Second, the antibiotic medications we are most likely to prescribe to the pregnant bitch - due to their known safety in pregnancy - are Amoxicillin and Cephalexin (Keflex). These are also effective antibiotics for treating Lyme disease. Use of these good antibiotics can precipitate a Herxheimer reaction in the pregnant bitch with subclinical Lyme, disease which can cause resorption of fetuses. Ask yourself this; how many litters have been lost in the past 15 years in areas with Lyme disease due to Herxheimer reactions in pregnant bitches with Lyme disease? How many stud dogs have wiped out their sperm for a period of 6 weeks following treatment with a monthly heartwormer? How many pregnant bitches are given monthly heartworm medication?

Met andere woorden: het lijkt erop dat het overdraagbaar is op de pups.
