Vectors are living organisms, such as mosquitoes, ticks, bugs, flies, fleas, lice, sandflies, and other blood sucking insects.  These Vectors transmit infectious pathogens from one human to another or from animal to human, and cause life threatening diseases.   Watch how this mosquito takes blood and releases its own fluid into its victim. If the mosquito digests blood from a diseased person, it digests, and transmits it to the next person. Thus, transmitting the disease.
