- Sainmhíniú pathogen transmission that occurs when the pathogen reproduces within a biological vector that transmits it from one host to another Tagairt "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: Nina Parker, Mark Schneegurt, Anh-Hue Thi Tu, Philip Lister, Brian M.

- Nóta Arthropods are the main vectors responsible for biological transmission (Figure 12.4.5). Most arthropod vectors transmit the pathogen by biting the host, creating a wound that serves as a portal of entry. The pathogen may go through part of its reproductive cycle in the gut or salivary glands of the arthropod to facilitate its transmission through the bite. For example, hemipterans (called “kissing bugs” or “assassin bugs”) transmit Chagas disease to humans by defecating when they bite, after which the human scratches or rubs the infected feces into a mucous membrane or break in the skin.
