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.
what is the role of a vector in the spread of a disease
the vector carries a disease from person by person eg the mosquito is a vector carrying and spreading the malaria disease
vector-borne transmission
Yes, they can spread bacteria and disease to humans and other animals.
It was a bacterium that caused it, but rats and fleas between them were the vector which spread the 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.
Tetanus is a disease which can affect any mammal, and mammals spread the disease to other mammals by biting them; hence the vector is mammals. Dogs, foxes and bats are the most usual mammals to be involved.
A biological vector is an organism that carries disease from one host into another. Some examples include rats, mice, houseflies and mosquitoes.
Malaria is not communicable between people. It is a vector borne disease that is spread by the female Anopheles mosquito between dawn and dusk.
The vector is how the illness is spread. In cholera's case, the vector is contaminated water. That is how cholera is spread.
A xenodiagnosis is a diagnosis of an infectious disease by exposure to a vector of that disease, incubating the vector and examining it for the presence of that disease.
Malaria is a vector based disease and is considered highly communicable, meaning it can be spread, though not easily from human to human. a vector is an organism that does not cause disease itself but which spreads infection by conveying pathogens from one host to another.
