Difference between Insect and Vector (epidemiology)

Insect vs. Vector (epidemiology)

Insects or Insecta (from Latin insectum) are hexapod invertebrates and the largest group within the arthropod phylum. In epidemiology, a disease vector is any agent that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism; most agents regarded as vectors are organisms, such as intermediate parasites or microbes, but it could be an inanimate medium of infection such as dust particles.

Similarities between Insect and Vector (epidemiology)

Insect and Vector (epidemiology) have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Arthropod, Malaria, Parasitism.

Arthropod

An arthropod (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint" and πούς pous, "foot") is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages.

Parasitism

In evolutionary biology, parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life.
