What animals usually host infected ticks?
deer You don't specify the infection, so I will use Lyme Disease as an example. The nymph/baby tick goes for a small host. Prior to feeding, the nymph tick is not infected with anything. If the nymph deer tick feeds on a deer mouse, which are the carriers of Lyme disease, they become infected. If the nymph tick feeds on an animal, like a lizard, that isn't infected, the tick won't be infected. The progression is usually, deer mouse then larger host, such as deer, human, dog or other larger mammal.
