![]() Chikungunya – spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito.Chagas disease – also termed as American trypanosomiasis, is a tropical parasitic illness caused by Trypanosoma cruzi.A tick-borne illness triggered by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme disease – also termed as Lyme borreliosis.Brucellosis – Mediterranean fever – people are infected by eating raw or unpasteurized dairy products.Rabies (damage of the nervous system of mammals).Emerging coronaviruses (e.g., severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome).Psittacosis (mostly affects lungs and is transmitted to people through coming in contact with infected Aves (birds) like parrots, parakeets and cockatiels.West Nile virus – is the primary cause of mosquito-borne disease.Salmonellosis – a symptomatic infection triggered by bacteria of the Salmonella type.Foodborne – consumption of infectious or contaminated foods – undercooked eggs or meat, unpasteurized and infected milk, raw veggies and fruits that might be infected with excreta of an infected animal. ![]() Vector-borne – Spreads through bites of vectors like flea, mites, ticks or mosquitoes.These places, surfaces in these places and objects could be infected/contaminated with germs. Indirect contact – pet dwellings (where pets live and roam), pet eatables, pet dishes (in which they eat and drink) – especially with pets such as dogs, cats, etc.Examples could be touching animals, bites or scratches. Direct contact – Exposure to blood, saliva, mucous, urine, feces, or other body fluids of an infected animal.Vector borne diseases can spread in various ways: People working in farms, where common carriers of zoonotic diseases are infected livestock also can spread many zoonoses.Even ticks and fleas that are present on pets at home can also spread zoonoses. ![]() Petting zoos are another source of transmission.Some other ways through which zoonotic diseases spread include when humans go for biking, boating, hiking or other outdoor activities.Through bites and saliva or insects (vector) like mosquitos, fleas or ticks.Through contaminated or infected surfaces or places – areas already touched by an infected animal.By getting closely exposed to an infected animal.By consuming infectious/contaminated meat. ![]() These diseases are spread by the bite of infected blood-feeding arthropods (vectors) How they are transmitted? Vector (insect)-borne diseases are the diseases that are transmitted by carrier vectors like mosquitoes, fleas, mites and ticks. Zoonotic diseases are the diseases that are transmitted from animals to human beings. Difference between zoonotic diseases and vector borne diseases Description Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria. Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
