Using incredible videography, photos, animation and graphics, this information-packed video introduces students to biological vectors. Viewers will learn that biological vectors carry and transmit disease that affect plants, animals and humans.

The program explores various types of diseases spread by vectors including, Zika, Lyme Disease, Malaria, Dengue and Yellow Fever. The video vividly demonstrates how a mosquito sucks blood from a human and then explains how a pathogen is transmitted.

Students will learn how scientists who study insects and infectious diseases can use the information they gather to help control and prevent the transmission of vector-borne diseases around the world.

By viewing this video, discussing the concepts that are presented, and participating in the accompanying activities, students will be able to:
• Learn that biological vectors are animals that carry and transmit disease
• Name the types of animals that can become vectors
• Understand how a mosquito transmits diseases
• Recognize that scientists develop ways to prevent and control the spread of vector-borne diseases
• Understand the natural history of vectors
• Realize that mosquitoes are the most dangerous animal on the planet\n
