Vectors of the United States Map and Informational Hub

NEHA has developed an interactive and educational resource that provides general vector and public health pest information. This easy-to-use, all-encompassing resource provides comprehensive and reliable information about where vectors are known to be found throughout the country, surveillance and control methods, as well as vector-borne diseases.

Visitors can expand their knowledge and understanding of this important field of study and can use the information to improve policies, programs, and public health. Information includes:

  • Vectors and where they are known to be found in the country
  • Surveillance and control methods
  • Vector-borne diseases and information about those diseases

Vector-borne diseases are illnesses that are transmitted by vectors, which include mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. These vectors can carry infective pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, which can be transferred from one host (carrier) to another.

*Disease transmission varies locally. This map depicts where vectors can be found geographically and provides information about diseases these vectors might carry. Vectors might be present in a state or locality, however, and not be carriers of any particular disease. In addition, identified vectors may have a presence in a state, but may not be found throughout that state.
