Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason behind why insect-vectored diseases spread more in larger geographical area than arachnid borne diseases.
Introduction:
Insect vectored diseases are the diseases which spread by the insects like mosquitoes. These vectors spread various infectious diseases like malaria, dengue, and yellow fever. Arachnid is the group of arthropod which includes spiders and long-legged insects, it contains all eight legs insects.
