Vector

Vector
1. An organism, often an insect or rodent, that carries disease. 2. Plasmids, viruses, or bacteria used to transport genes into a host cell. A gene is placed in the vector; the vector then "infects" the bacterium.

Substance(s) used to formulate active ingredients for administration or use.
Note: In this context, it is a general term for solvents, suspending agents, etc.

vector 1) An organism that carries a disease, parasite, or infection. 2) In physics, a force that has both magnitude and directionality. 3) A plasmid, phage or cosmid into which foreign dna may be inserted for cloning.

Vector-borne diseases. Ticks or mosquitoes are examples of 'vectors' that can carry some diseases from an infected person to another person.

Vector: a carrier, typically an insect or rodent, capable of transmitting a disease.

Vector: An organism that carries disease such as an insect or rodent.
Ventilation: The process of supplying and removing air by natural or mechanical means to and from any space. Such air may or may not be conditioned.

Vector: Any living agent, other than human, capable of transmitting directly or indirectly an infectious disease.

Certain vector-borne diseases carried by animals or insects, such as malaria, would become more widespread as warmer conditions expanded their range.

When integrating vector layers or mosaicking images together, it is possible that each vector or image may not precisely join or geometrically edgematch to an adjacent vector or image.

Electric Field: A vector field describing the force on a unit electrical charge [newtons/coulomb = volts/metre].

Vector Control Refers to methods used to control and reduce environmental exposure to pests that can transmit disease pathogens to humans.Vehicle Emissions Air pollution produced by transport vehicles such as cars, buses and trucks.

Global warming may extend the range of vectors conveying infectious diseases such as malaria. Bluetongue disease in domesticated ruminants associated with mite bites has recently spread to the north Mediterranean region.

Vector (i) Any agent (living or otherwise) that acts as a carrier for a pathogenic organism and transmits it to a susceptible host.
(ii) A physical quantity with a direction as well as a strength. Veld Open pasture land in South Africa.

Climate Change and Disease: Students research the relationship between hosts, parasites, and vectors for common vector-borne diseases and evaluate how climate change could affect the spread of disease.
