Vector-borne diseases are transmitted by arthropods such as ticks (e.g. tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), Lyme disease), mosquitoes (e.g. Chikungunya fever, Dengue fever), or sandflies (e.g. visceral leishmaniasis).
Vektorsko prenosljive bolezni prenašajo členonožci, kot so klopi (na primer klopni meningoencefalitis, limska bolezen), komarji (na primer vročica čikenganja, mrzlica denga) ali peščene muhe (na primer leishmanioza).
