Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Ostrich farming
English term or phrase: bringers of disease
CONTEXT:

"Nevertheless, in certain areas ostrich farming has hit a wall in the last few years, after ostriches were found to enable the transmission of Lyme disease. It can be transmitted to humans by the ixodid tick, a parasite that commonly infects a wide range of warm-blooded animals, including ostriches and humans."

neutral  Alistair Ian Spearing Ortiz: Aunque la definición del DRAE es algo vaga, en biología "vector" suele reservarse para los animales que propagan activamente la enfermedad, como por ejemplo los mosquitos o las garrapatas.
