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 tick feeds on an animal, like a lizard, that isn't infected, the tick won't be infected.
