T1 - Vector-borne Infections T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2011 VL - 17 IS - 5 SP - 769 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Infections with vector-borne pathogens are a major source of emerging diseases. The ability of vectors to bridge spatial and ecologic gaps between animals and humans increases opportunities for emergence. Small adaptations of a pathogen to a vector can have profound effects on the rate of transmission to humans.
