Definition(s)
- Vector-borne diseases are caused by infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites that are transmitted to humans by vectors. In most instances, vectors are bloodsucking invertebrates, usually arthropods such as ticks, mosquitoes, or flies, although vertebrates, including rodents, raccoons, and dogs, can also be vectors of human disease.
