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.
Biological vectors include viruses as well as plasmids.
Examples of Biological Vectors: Tick - Lyme Disease Mosquitoes - Malaria Sand fly - Leishmania Mechanical Vectors Housefly picking up salmonella with its feet and depositing it on human food
Insect vectors
when using the micropipettes,be careful and avoid contaiinating the micropipettes by slowly releasing the plunger

In terms of Epidemiology a vector is an organism which transmits diseases to healthy organisms. A biological vector develops an infected organism in its body and passes it along to its host. e.g mosquito while a mechanical vector carry an infected organism to its host through its legs and other body parts. e.g flies.

Viruses have proven to be highly effective as vectors since these are biological entities with a natural function of infecting host cells.
