    Vectors like ticks, sand flies, and mosquitoes transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and Lyme disease to humans. They are small organisms that can infect people with a single bite. Vector-borne diseases kill over a million people worldwide every year, placing over half of the global population at risk. It is important to take precautions like wearing protective clothing, sleeping under bed nets, using insect repellent, and eliminating standing water to avoid being bitten.
