it is a deer tick
The deer tick (Ixodes scapularis) is an intermediate host for Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. The bacterium is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected deer tick.
deer tick is the type of tick that buries in the skin.
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.
The symbiosis relationship of a deer and a tick is parasitism. The deer is the harmed host and the tick is harming the host.
There's three reasons a deer ticks mostly get on deers and a tick mostly get on humans head or body. A deer tick gets on ticks and a tick just sucks blood from a human. A deer tick is much harder to get off then a tick.

The Tick feeds off of the deers blood. The deer is not killed so the relationship is parasitism.
A deer tick is a parasitic arthropod that is normally found on deer in the adult stage. However, the same tick may be found on small mammals like mice and foxes when the ticks are younger. The deer tick is mostly known for carrying Lyme disease.
