Chapter 14, Problem 6TMW
Summary Introduction
To tell:
Why cannot we correctly say that all arthropod vectors are reservoirs?
Introduction:
Arthropoda is the largest phylum in the Animalia kingdom that comprises more than 1 million species. Arthropods act as a vector for many disease-carrying agents like mosquito vector for malarial

Which of the following is not a vector?
Fomite
Human
Fly
Flea
Fomite AND human
Flies (the Order Diptera) contain the largest number of families that have evolved to blood feed and are responsible for transmitting a large fraction of vector-borne diseases. Can you think of reasons why the Diptera may have successfully utilized this life history and function as such efficient vectors?
