A vector is simply an organisms which serves to carry or transport a disease, for example the mosquito (an arthropod) carrying the protozoan malaria parasite. Hence a non-arthropod vector would be a vector outside phylum Arthropoda, for instance, a dog (a vertebrate, from phylum Chordata) carrying the rabies virus.
