Data from: Species interactions in occurrence data for a community of tick-transmitted pathogens

Interactions between species of ticks, their realised range of hosts, the
pathogens they carry and transmit, as well as the geographical
distribution of species in the Western Palearctic, have been obtained
based on evidence published between 1970–2014. These relationships were
linked to remotely-sensed features of temperature and vegetation and used
to extract the network of interactions among the organisms. The resulting
datasets were focussed on niche overlap among ticks and hosts, species
interactions and the fraction of the environmental niche where tick-borne
pathogens may circulate, as a result of interactions and environmental
trait overlap. The presented datasets provide a valuable resource for
researchers of tick-borne pathogens, as they conciliate the abiotic and
biotic sides of their niche, allowing exploration of the importance of
each species of vertebrate reservoir in the circulation of
tick-transmitted pathogens at intervals of the environmental niche.
