| The agents that carry and transmit infectious pathogens to other living organisms are called vectors. Such agents are usually intermediate parasites or microbes. Parasite refers to the organism which either lives in or on some other organism, benefitting itself by causing harm to that organism. Some common parasites are hookworms, protozoans, mosquitoes, lice, honey fungus, broomrapes, mistletoe and dodder. As they interact with other species, they are well placed to act as vectors of pathogens, which cause diseases. Dengue fever, plague, Lyme disease and West Nile fever are some examples of vector-borne zoonotic diseases. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the role of parasites and vectors in health and diseases. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts. |
