  • Title: The concept of vector in parasitology, ecology of agents, epidemiology and epizootology.
    Author: Korenberg EI, Kryuchechnikov VN.
    Journal: Folia Parasitol (Praha); 1986; 33(3):241-8. PubMed ID: 3758869.
    Abstract:
    The concepts of "host" and "vector" are compared in application to arthropods which are capable to transmit pathogens to man and animals. The paper shows that these concepts are not identical. The function of such arthropods as hosts of microorganisms, as well as their possible importance in population ecology, epidemiology and epizootology are discussed. The system of different concepts corresponding to the tasks of these scientific disciplines is also considered.
