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.
Examples of Biological Vectors: Tick - Lyme Disease Mosquitoes - Malaria Sand fly - Leishmania Mechanical Vectors Housefly picking up salmonella with its feet and depositing it on human food
Viruses are biological entities because they contain genetic material (DNA or RNA) and require a host cell to replicate. However, they lack the cellular machinery needed for metabolic processes and must infect host cells to reproduce.

Communicable diseases can be spread through direct contact with an infected person, such as by touching or shaking hands, through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, by ingesting contaminated food or water, or through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. Some communicable diseases can also be spread through vectors like mosquitoes or ticks.
Micropipettes are mechanical tools used in laboratories to accurately measure and transfer small volumes of liquid. They are not biological in nature as they do not possess any living components.
Metal bullets are considered mechanical vectors because they are inanimate objects that can physically transmit diseases or pathogens when they come in contact with a person's blood or tissues. Biological vectors, on the other hand, are living organisms like mosquitoes or ticks that can transmit diseases through bites.

In terms of Epidemiology a vector is an organism which transmits diseases to healthy organisms. A biological vector develops an infected organism in its body and passes it along to its host. e.g mosquito while a mechanical vector carry an infected organism to its host through its legs and other body parts. e.g flies.

Viruses have proven to be highly effective as vectors since these are biological entities with a natural function of infecting host cells.
