What is the relationship between a reservoir and a vector in the context of disease transmission?

In the context of disease transmission, a reservoir is a place where a pathogen can live and multiply, such as an animal or environment. A vector is an organism that can carry and transmit the pathogen from the reservoir to a host. The relationship between a reservoir and a vector is that the reservoir provides a source of the pathogen, while the vector helps spread the pathogen to new hosts, contributing to the transmission of the disease.
