[QUOTE="caotropheus, post: 2158456, member: 44452"] For what I know about ticks, they need vertebrates like birds, mammals and reptiles to thrive. So, if a species of tick is associated with a certain plant, it is in an indirect way. Most probably the tick is waiting for a certain host to pass near the plant, so it can "jump on", like a dog, a cat, a deer or any other animal. It might happen that certain animal hosts are more common in proximity of certain species of plants and so ticks are more common on those species. What animals and what plants and what ticks are related, I do not know exactly. [/QUOTE]
