What are vectors used for in controlling maleria?
In relation to malaria, the word 'vector' refers to the means by which a disease is transmitted, specifically an organic host. So bats, rats, ticks, fleas and Outbreak monkeys can all be vectors. In malaria's case, the vector is the mosquito. So you don't really use vectors to control malaria, but rather try to control malaria by stopping on the vector, i.e. get yourself a mosquito net or don't trek through the jungle.
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.
