Transmitter is a living organism. Usually it is a tick or any kind of insect. This carrier transports tiny parasitic organisms, and it can be transmitted from one infected person to another, or transmitted from one organism to another For example, mosquitoes (anopheles) are carriers of yellow fever and malaria.
The vectors cause many chronic diseases. These vectors are found in the tropics and marshes, in unclean drinking water, and carry many germs and bacteria that cause harm to the person, and many diseases. These diseases are considered the most dangerous. Controlling them is difficult, and infection can return even after treatment.
The risk of vectors lies in their ability to transmit disease faster and on a large scale. Unlike other diseases, vectors transport disease from the environment that causes it to the human body, which is very difficult to treat. Transporter .
