Highlight two difference between zoonotic and vector borne disease??

1. Transmission method: Zoonotic diseases are transmitted from animals to humans, either directly or through contaminated food or water. Vector-borne diseases, on the other hand, are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.

2. Reservoir host: Zoonotic diseases typically have an animal reservoir host that maintains the infection in the environment, while vector-borne diseases do not necessarily require an animal reservoir host. Instead, the arthropod vector serves as the primary reservoir and transmitter of the disease.

1. Transmission Mechanism:

- Zoonotic diseases: Transmitted directly from animals to humans through contact with infected animals, their fluids, or contaminated food products.
- Vector-borne diseases: Transmitted indirectly through an intermediary organism (e.g., mosquitoes, ticks, fleas) that carries the disease-causing agent from an infected animal or person to a healthy human.

2. Control Measures:

- Zoonotic diseases: Control measures focus on reducing contact between humans and infected animals, improving animal hygiene, and implementing vaccination programs.
- Vector-borne diseases: Control measures aim to eliminate or reduce the vector population, prevent contact between vectors and humans (e.g., wearing protective clothing, using insect repellents), and limit the spread of the disease-causing agent (e.g., through antimicrobial treatment).
