Vector Biology

Vector Biology is the academic discipline that constitutes a specialized branch of biological science focused on the study of arthropod vectors, primarily insects and arachnids, that transmit pathogenic organisms causing diseases in humans and animals, distinguished by its integrative approach to understanding vector physiology, ecology, genetics, and role in pathogen transmission dynamics.
