What is vector infection?
Vector infection refers to the process by which a virus or pathogen is transmitted from one host to another through a vector organism, such as mosquitoes, ticks, or fleas. The vector acts as an intermediary carrier for the pathogen, allowing it to be transmitted to a new host during a subsequent bite or feeding. This mode of transmission is commonly seen in diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease.
