Answer:Indirect transmission refers to the transfer of an infectious agent from a reservoir to a host by suspended air particles, inanimate objects (vehicles), or animate intermediaries (vectors).
Explanation:Vector-borne transmission is an indirect transmission process during which the pathogen is indirectly transferred from a reservoir, source or host via an animate intermediary vector to another host. Most vectors are arthropods such as mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. Vector transmission utilizes insects to transport the pathogen. Insects such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitos are unharmed by the pathogens they potentially carry but can transmit the bacteria or virus when they bite a host. Examples: Mosquito: West Nile Virus.
