White-tailed deer (WTD) are considered to be noncompetent reservoirs for\n B. burgdorferi<\/jats:italic>\n . Sera from other deer species have been found to be borreliacidal, and similar mechanisms could explain the lack of reservoir competence of WTD. Therefore, we determined whether WTD serum can kill\n B. burgdorferi.<\/jats:italic>\n Using an\n in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n serum sensitivity assay and subculturing of spirochetes, we demonstrated that WTD serum effectively kills\n B. burgdorferi<\/jats:italic>\n .
