What is a vector and name an animal that is vector?
A vector is an organism that transmits infectious diseases from one host to another. An example of a vector animal is the mosquito, which can transmit diseases such as malaria and dengue fever through its bite.
What are tick vector?
a tick is a vector for diseases such as lyme disease, so it can trasmit diseases from animals (deer) to humans in this case.

What is biological vector?
A biological vector is an organism, such as an insect or a rodent, that transmits pathogens from one host to another. These vectors can play a significant role in the spread of infectious diseases among populations.
What are vector diseases?
A vector-borne disease is one in which the pathogenic microorganism is transmitted from an infected individual to another individual by an arthropod or other agent, sometimes with other animals serving as intermediary hosts. The transmission depends upon the attributes and requirements of at least three different living organisms: the pathologic agent, either a virus, protozoa, bacteria, or helminth (worm); the vector, which are commonly arthropods such as ticks or mosquitoes; and the human host. In addition, intermediary hosts such as domesticated and/or wild animals often serve as a reservoir for the pathogen until susceptible human populations are exposed. Nearly half of the world's population is infected by vector-borne diseases, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. The distribution of the incidence of vector-borne diseases is grossly disproportionate, with the overwhelming impact in developing countries located in tropical and subtropical areas. The Summary of Key Vector-borne Diseases provides a brief description of the manifestation, causative agent, vector species, host, prevalence, population at risk, present geographic distribution, and possible change in distribution due to climate change of key vector-borne diseases (CIESIN 1994).
