Animal-borne (Vector) Disease Prevention
A vector is an organism (e.g. fly, tick, mosquito, etc.) that transmits disease germs. The main vectors of concern in Boulder County are prairie dog fleas, which can carry plague, and mosquitoes, which can carry Western Equine Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, and West Nile virus.
