Vector-borne diseases occur when microorganisms are transmitted to humans through carriers such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, or certain animals. Examples include malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, Lyme disease, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and leishmaniasis. Hantavirus is not typically transmitted by vectors such as mosquitoes or ticks; rodents are the main source. Transmission usually occurs through inhalation of dust contaminated with the urine, feces, or saliva of infected rodents. Therefore, hantavirus is classified as a rodent-borne zoonotic infection. Environmental control, rodent management, and safe cleaning practices are central to prevention.
