The question asks for vector-borne diseases, which means they are spread through the bite or contact of an infected animal or insect. Measles and whooping cough are not vector-borne, but are spread through respiratory secretions from person-to-person. Rocky Mountain spotted fever, West Nile virus, and Lyme disease are all spread through the bites of ticks or mosquitoes and are therefore vector-borne.
