    abstract = {The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of antibodies against <I>Anaplasma marginale</I> in sera from white-tailed deer (<I>Odocoileus virginianus texanus</I>) in the states of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila, Mexico. One hundred and sixty five deer from 5 farms were live-trapped in 2005 using the net-canyon method. Blood was extracted by jugular venipuncture using vacuum tubes. Antibodies in the sera were detected by the indirect immunofluorecent technique. Seroprevalence was high because 69.7% of deer reacted positively to <I>A. marginale</I>. The prevalences for the municipalities of Anahuac and Acu&ntilde;a were 61.9 and 83.3%, respectively. The risk of a seropositive animal was 3 times greater in the municipality of Acu&ntilde;a. The prevalence between  sexes were equal (p&gt;0.05). In conclusion, a high frequency of antibodies against <I>A.</I> <I>marginale</I> in white-tailed deer in northeastern Mexico was found. More studies are recommended with the aim of determine the risk of deer in the transmission of <I>A. marginale</I> to cattle.}
