Overview of study A vector is an organism that does not cause disease itself but spreads infection by conveying pathogens from one host to another. Some Species of mosquito, for example, serve as vectors for the deadly disease such as Malaria (Wilson et al, 2017). Disease is any harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of an organism, generally associated with certain signs and symptoms and differing in nature from physical injury. A diseased organism commonly exhibits signs or symptoms indicative of its abnormal state. Mosquitoes are common, flying insects that live in most parts of the world. Over 3,500 types of mosquitoes can be found worldwide (Hardstone et al, 2012).Not all mosquitoes bite people or animals. When mosquitoes bite people, the most common reactions to the bite are itching and swelling. Some mosquitoes can be vectors. The germs (viruses and parasites) that mosquitoes spread can make people sick. Some mosquitoes bite, but do not spread germs. These types of mosquitoes are called nuisance mosquitoes (Becker et al, 2010).
