Instances of this collection are types of infections that are commonly spread by vector organisms. Vectors are carrier of the pathogen, Anopheles mosquitoes carrying malaria bacterium, or carriers of carrier of pathogen, rats carrying fleas carrying the plague bacterium are examples. Thus infections such as malaria, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1H1JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Malaria</a>, and plague, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvnCbwpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BubonicPlague</a>, are instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv3ir_JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VectorBorneInfectionType</a>.
