    A vector<\/strong> is an animal that can transmit an infectious pathogen, like viruses or bacteria, to humans.\u00a0 If a dog bites a human and incidentally transmits the virus that causes rabies, then that dog would be a vector.\u00a0 However, the most common vectors are arthropods.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
