In the context of pesticide applications, a "vector" refers to an animal or plant that can transmit a pathogen from one host to another. Vectors play a crucial role in the spread of diseases among plants or animals. This term is commonly used in integrated pest management strategies to understand and control the transmission of pathogens by these vectors.
