Introduction

1.1 Vector

Vectors are living organisms that can transmit infectious diseases between humans or from

animals to humans. Many of these vectors are bloodsucking insects, which ingest disease-

producing microorganisms during a blood meal from an infected host (human or animal) and

later inject it into a new host during their subsequent blood meal. Mosquitoes are the best known

disease vector. Others include ticks, flies, sandflies, fleas, triatomine bugs and some freshwater

aquatic snails (Parish, 2014)

1.2 Vector Borne diseases

Vector-borne diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens and parasites in human populations.

Every year there are more than 1 billion cases and over 1 million deaths from vector-borne

diseases such as malaria, dengue, schistosomiasis, human African trypanosomiasis,

leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and onchocerciasis, globally.

Vector-borne diseases account for over 17% of all infectious diseases. Distribution of these

diseases is determined by a complex dynamic of environmental and social factors (Jones, 2008).
