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.

Diseases that are carried by animals or insects are spread by communicable transmission is this true?
True. This is the official definition of a communicable disease: A type of disease that is contagious since the agent of the disease may be transmitted from the infected host to another.Transmission may involve fluid exchange or exposure to vectors contaminated by the infective agent. Vectors can be insects or other animals including humans.
Explain the role cloning vectors play in making recombinant DNA?
they carry a gene like a vehicle
How can disease transmission be traced to the original carrier?
ball
What are the types of vectors are there in biotechnology?
there are two types of vectors cloning vector and expression vectors.
Is a mosquito a known vehicle of transmission?
Yes, a mosquito can bring disease to a living creature.
In terms of disease what is reservoir?
Disease reservoir functions as a potential source of disease outbreak. This must be distinguished from vectors and carriers which are means of disease transmission.
What experiment did P.L. Simond perform?
P.L. Simond conducted an experiment in 1898 to study the transmission of bubonic plague by fleas. He demonstrated that fleas could act as vectors for the transmission of the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis from rats to humans. This experiment was instrumental in establishing the role of fleas in the spread of the disease.
How to prevent disease vectors and what are disease vectors?
to prevent vectors from spreading jerms spray rid and keep doors shut and that's the bottom line

What disease does a kissing bug carry?
They are potential vectors for Chagas disease
How are hemorrhagic fevers transmitted?
Typical disease vectors include rodents, ticks, or mosquitoes, but person-to-person transmission in health care settings or through sexual contact can also occur.
What has the author Xiaohong Li written?
Xiaohong Li has written: 'Epidemiological implications of sporozoite aggregation in malaria vectors' -- subject(s): Malaria, Transmission, Epidemiology, Anopheles, Mosquitoes as carriers of disease
Are micropipettes mechanical or biological vectors?
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.
Vectors that some protozoa use to transfer disease are?
mosquitoes and tsetse flies
What is the role of transmission media in the data communication?
it is a transmission media..
What is vector spread disease and the examples?
A disease which is carried and spread by an agent (animal or microorganism) is a vector spread disease. Eg. Mosquitoes are the vectors for malaria.
