What are vector diseases?
A vector-borne disease is one in which the pathogenic microorganism is transmitted from an infected individual to another individual by an arthropod or other agent, sometimes with other animals serving as intermediary hosts. The transmission depends upon the attributes and requirements of at least three different living organisms: the pathologic agent, either a virus, protozoa, bacteria, or helminth (worm); the vector, which are commonly arthropods such as ticks or mosquitoes; and the human host. In addition, intermediary hosts such as domesticated and/or wild animals often serve as a reservoir for the pathogen until susceptible human populations are exposed. Nearly half of the world's population is infected by vector-borne diseases, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. The distribution of the incidence of vector-borne diseases is grossly disproportionate, with the overwhelming impact in developing countries located in tropical and subtropical areas. The Summary of Key Vector-borne Diseases provides a brief description of the manifestation, causative agent, vector species, host, prevalence, population at risk, present geographic distribution, and possible change in distribution due to climate change of key vector-borne diseases (CIESIN 1994).

How can irradiation solve a societal problem?
It can improve medicines. It can treat inherited diseases. It can protect the environment. It can prevent food-borne diseases.
What is air borne and water borne diseases?
Air borne diseases. These crop diseases are transmitted by the air, e.g., 'rust of wheat' , "blast of rice" , etc. Air-borne diseases attack all aerial parts of the plants, e.g., leaf, flower, and fruits. Water borne diseases. Pathogens of these crop diseases are transmitted by the water, e.g., "bacterial blight of rice".

What did dr.Samuel rawlins invent?
He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. His interest is in epidemiology, particularly in the effects of climate change on the insects that pass on disease (aka surveillance and control of vector-borne diseases).
What are tick vector?
a tick is a vector for diseases such as lyme disease, so it can trasmit diseases from animals (deer) to humans in this case.
