Résumé
The data investigated the distribution of ticks and their potential pathogens in two agricultural zones in north-western and south-western France, as well as the distributions of the principal domestic and wild hosts (small mammals), along a gradient of wooded habitats from forest core to more or less isolated hedges bordering pastures. The samples and information on the landscape were collected in spring and autumn of 2012 and 2013 and in spring 2014 corresponding to the main periods of tick activity. All the questing ticks and ticks from small mammals were identified, and ticks and small mammals were analysed to detect Borrelia spp., Babesia spp. and Anaplasma spp.
