White-tailed deer serum samples were analyzed for anti Borrelia burgdorferi IgG.
This is the first 15-year longitudinal study reported in Texas, and provides data previously unavailable within the study of Lyme disease ecology.
White-tailed deer population density might be critical to sero-prevalence.
Further pathogenic landscape studies on Lyme disease in Texas are recommended.
Databased Lyme disease ecology models in Texas can be developed.
