What is a Vector?

What is a Vector?

Vectors are animals or insects that do not cause disease but spread infections by transmitting pathogens from one host to another. Vectors are, including but not restricted to, fleas (plague), flies (Salmonella), ticks (Lyme disease), mites, rodents (Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome), and bats (Rabies).

Alameda Vector Control Services

Alameda County Residents,

Your Alameda County Vector Control Services District (ACVCSD) is still open and operational during the COVID-19 pandemic to help assure vectors of disease do not get the upper hand during this critical time.

Some of our operational procedures have been modified to help protect the public and your staff here at ACVCSD, but our Vector Biologists, Vector Ecologist, and lab personnel are thoughtfully continuing with our mission.
