Vector-borne Diseases

Infections transmitted by the biting of infected arthropod species such as mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, sand-flies, and blackflies are known as Vector-borne diseases. Infectious diseases spread by vectors account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, resulting in more than 7,00,000 fatalities each year. Parasites, bacteria, and viruses can all cause them.

The following are some examples of vector-borne diseases:
