Data on ectoparasites infestation on small mammals from different habitats in east-coast Peninsular Malaysia

This data article presents on the ectoparasites infestation on small mammals in Peninsular Malaysia. The dataset on ectoparasites infestation is important because it raises a major medical concern regarding the spread of potentially zoonotic disease from wildlife to human. Tick and chigger are the p...
