Disease vectors

A disease vector is any living organism that transmits an infectious disease to humans (or in agriculture to animals and plants). A vector picks up the disease from an infected host or the environment then transfers it to a new host through a bite when feeding or by mechanical transmission such as defecating on the skin or from particles on the outside of the body.

The most important vector borne diseases at a global level and their vectors are shown below:

• Malaria (protozoan): Anopheles species of mosquito.
• Lymphatic filariasis (nematode worm): Culex, Anopheles, Aedes species of mosquito.
• Dengue (virus): Aedes species of mosquito.
• Leishmaniasis (protozoan): mainly Phlebotomus species of sandfly.
• Schistosomiasis (trematode worm): tropical and subtropical freshwater snails.
• Chagas disease (Trypanosoma species of protozoan): Assassin bugs, triatomine bugs.
• Trachoma (bacterium): flies (various species).
• Onchocerciasis (nematode worm): Simulium species of blackfly.
• Japanese encephalitis (virus): Culex species of mosquito (also some domestic animals, wading birds).
• Other arboviruses: various vectors.
• Enteric diseases (various microorganisms): various vectors.
• Human African trypanosomiasis (Trypanosoma species of protozoan): Tsetse fly, Glossina species (also animals).
