∙ 13y agoThere are a number of diseases that fall under the heading of typhus. The main ones are epidemic typhus, Brill-Zinsser disease, endemic or murine typhus and scrub typhus. Anne probably died of endemic typhus at Bergen-Belsen. The biologic vector is the body louse (plural is lice) and also fleas.

What does vector mean?
A quantity having direction as well as magnitude, also, the word can be used to refer to disease-spreading organisms (such as fleas and rats).
What are some examples of vectors that can transmit a disease?
The difference is that a vector merely transports the disease and will not have any traces of the disease in its immune system. A carrier will have the infectious agent but will not show symptoms of it. Both can transmit the disease to other organisms. Ex: carrier- human with HIV but not AIDS; vector- mosquito with malaria.
