This is very good question indeed. No such study is probably conducted. But you can do a logical guess work for the same. Most of the vectors carry the disease life long. That means the microorganism is living in the body of the vector. So it is not causing serious illness to the vector. But the micro organism has been deriving the nutrition from the body of the vector only. So the vector is also probably suffering in the process. A good parasite will neither kill the man nor the vector but will like to survive, without much disturbing both of them. A very good parasite may help the host and then this process is called as symbiosis. That means peaceful coexistence!

Does the lice transmits diseases?
Head lice are currently being considered as vectors (able to carry disease). At the moment though there is nothing to prove that lice can carry or transmit virus or disease to humans..
Do head lice carry diseases?
Head lice are currently being considered as vectors (able to carry disease). At the moment though there is nothing to prove that lice can carry or transmit virus or disease to humans, they are simply annoying!
Are micropipettes mechanical or biological vectors?
Micro-pipettes can be mechanical vectors for disease. Since they do not carry the disease like a living organism, they cannot be considered to be a biological vector. If the pipette is not sterilized properly, the result can be a mechanical vector for a disease.
How to prevent disease vectors and what are disease vectors?
to prevent vectors from spreading jerms spray rid and keep doors shut and that's the bottom line
What disease does a kissing bug carry?
They are potential vectors for Chagas disease
Do lice carry disease?
Generally, no. This parasite is usually free of pathogens that affect humans. Bedbugs are another arthropod that are pathogenically free. For some reason these arthropods are not disease vectors, but they surely are irritating in and of themselves.
Diseases that are carried by animals or insects are spread by communicable transmission is this true?
True. This is the official definition of a communicable disease: A type of disease that is contagious since the agent of the disease may be transmitted from the infected host to another.Transmission may involve fluid exchange or exposure to vectors contaminated by the infective agent. Vectors can be insects or other animals including humans.
What are some considered vectors?
Velocity and Force
Where is the disease hydrophobia most prevalent?
If by hydrophobia, you are referring to Rabies Encephalitis, then in suburban areas where humans come in close contact to vectors such as raccoons, feral dogs, bats, foxes, etc.
What is the role of the vectors in the transmission of disease?
Vectors play very important role in spread of many diseases. The microorganism spends dominant or recessive stage of it's life cycle. Without the vector the disease can not spread in most of the cases. Malaria and plague are two important vector born diseases.
How can a disease be spread from animal to animal?
Tapeworms can often spread to humans when people eat the infected meat of cattle, and swine. Other diseases are transferred by insect vectors, often blood-feeding insects that carry the cause of the disease.
Vectors that some protozoa use to transfer disease are?
mosquitoes and tsetse flies
