Vector:

  • A vector is an organism who passes on a disease without getting sick.
  • The vectors may act as intermediate host for the completion of part of cycle of pathogen.
  • The vector harbors pathogen mostly for short time

Carrier:

  • A carrier is an organism who has no symptoms of a disease but harbors the pathogen in its body and passes it on to someone else.
  • Carrier may or may not be needed by the pathogen to complete its life cycle.
  • The carrier state may be of long or short duration.
