Blood feeding is very important for disease causing and transmission. It evolved by several ways, and its characteristics are analyzed, besides the vector-parasite relationship and its influence on transmission. The importance of saliva and digestive process to transmission, immunity, and the development of vaccines is analyzed. The influence of several parasites on the behavior of vectors, facilitating disease transmission, is described.
