Some diseases are transmitted by insects such as mosquitos, ticks, and flies. These bugs are known as “vectors” as they can carry and transmit viruses, bacteria, or parasites that cause vector-borne disease, or VBD. A primary difference between preventing human transmitted infectious disease and preventing VBDs is to avoid the biting nuisances that carry the disease-causing germs.
