VECTOR-BORNE DISEASE
TRANSMISSION
Prepared By: Kenj Yolleth M. Ibañez
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students
should be able to:
• Define Vector-Borne Transmission
• Know the different vectors and the
disease they carry.
• Apply their learning by thinking of
preventive measures against this
disease transmission.
What is Vector-Borne Transmission?
It is a process of transferring Usually when there’s a

infectious communicable or transmission of a disease,
non-communicable diseases there are four elements to
either from one person to consider: The agent, the
another, or from an animal to
host, the environment, and
person, or from ingesting
food. time.
What is a vector?
Vectors are living organisms that can
transmit infectious diseases between
humans or from animals to humans.
Many of these vectors are bloodsucking
insects, which ingest disease-producing
microorganisms during a blood meal
from an infected host (human or animal)
and later inject it into a new host during
their subsequent blood meal.

DIFFERENT VECTOR-BORNE DISEASES
THAT ARE COMMON IN THE
PHILIPPINES
DENGUE
Dengue is an acute infectious disease that
comes in two forms: dengue and dengue
hemorrhagic fever.
The principal symptoms of dengue are high
fever, severe headache, backache, joint pains,
nausea and vomiting, eye pain, and rash. Generally,
younger children have a milder illness than older
children and adults.
Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever are
caused by any one of four closely related
flaviviruses, designated DEN-1, DEN–2, DEN-3, or
DEN-4.

DENGUE CHAIN OF INFECTION
MALARIA
Malaria is a life-threatening disease. It’s
typically transmitted through the bite of an infected
Anopheles mosquito. Infected mosquitoes carry the
Plasmodium parasite. When this mosquito bites
you, the parasite is released into your bloodstream.
Once the parasites are inside your body,
they travel to the liver, where they mature. After
several days, the mature parasites enter the
bloodstream and begin to infect red blood cells.

SCHISTOSOMIASIS
Schistosomiasis is a disease of poverty that
leads to chronic ill-health. Infection is acquired
when people come into contact with fresh water
infested with the larval forms (cercariae) of parasitic
blood flukes, known as schistosomes.
The microscopic adult worms live in the
veins draining the urinary tract and intestines. Most
of the eggs they lay are trapped in the tissues and
the body’s reaction to them can cause massive
damage.
