No. Some brown deer ticks do carry the spirochete that causes Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted from one animal to another through the bite of the infective tick.

∙ 14y agoLyme disease is caused by a group of bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. These bacteria (at least some of them) can infect deers and can also cause a persistent infection in them. But these infections are 'subclinical' so usually there aren't any symptoms in deers.

How does the bacteria that causes Lymes disease enter a deer tick?
According to the CDC's profile on Lyme disease, the bacteria that commonly causes the disease is known as Borrelia burgdorferi. Upon searching elsewhere for more specific information about the bacterium, I found an excerpt from an article published in 2012 in the journal Nature Reviews Microbiology. The full article is titled: Of ticks, mice, and men: understanding the dual-host lifestyle of Lyme disease spirochaetes and can be accessed through the archives of the journal's website. The article excerpt contained a diagram and explanation of a deer tick's life cycle. According to the article, deer ticks are infected with the bacteria after feeding on other infected animals such as birds, squirrels, and mice. Once infected, the tick will become a host for the bacterium for the remainder of its life. Interestingly enough though, the diagram indicates that infected female ticks do not transfer the bacteria into their eggs. Every new generation of ticks must acquire their own infection!
