They are subject to heavy predation from a tick that caries this bacteria and transmits it to the deer. The deer do not present symptoms as they are a vector of the parasitic bacteria and not the terminal host.
No, but theyre part of the life cycle. Deer ticks transmit lyme disease
No. Deer ticks carry Lyme disease.
The production of acorns by oak trees affects Lyme disease in humans because deer and deer mice eat acorns, deer ticks carry Lyme disease live on deer and deer mice. If the acorn level drops, the deer and deer mice population drops, the deer tick population drops, and there are less deer ticks to give humans Lyme disease.
Lyme disease
