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.

When you get bite from the tick?
yes you can get bitten. *brief summary of a personal occasion*... ticks may borough deep into the skin, so much so that it can look like a skin mark or a simple mole. my brother found one on his upper back today, and a PRETTY DECENT size, too. it embedded itself so far into the skin that only the upper back of the tick was showing as a zit sized skin mark( even so the tick was maybe 4-6mm THATS BIG! ), no legs visible. we got tweezers, band-aids, cotton, alcohol, a magnifier and a locking empty pill container. *note: TICKS CAN LIVE IN RUBBING ALCOHOL! , also the American dog tick and deer tick get confused even by pros, so don't freak if it looks like a deer tick. PS, it was only the DOG tick NOT THE DEER TICK:)
