The concepts of "host" and "vector" are compared in application to arthropods which are capable to transmit pathogens to man and animals. The paper shows that these concepts are not identical. The function of such arthropods as hosts of microorganisms, as well as their possible importance in population ecology, epidemiology and epizootology are discussed. The system of different concepts corresponding to the tasks of these scientific disciplines is also considered.
“宿主”和“媒介”这两个概念在应用于能够将病原体传播给人类和动物的节肢动物时进行了比较。本文表明，这些概念并不相同。讨论了此类节肢动物作为微生物宿主的功能，以及它们在种群生态学、流行病学和动物流行病学中可能具有的重要性。还考虑了与这些学科任务相对应的不同概念体系。
