Wikidata:Property proposal/has vector

has biological vector edit

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science

DescriptionThe biological group (often a taxon) which works as a vector for this pathogenic biological group . See Wilson et al 2017 (PMC5352812) for different valid perspectives on the concept of vector.
Representsvector (Q107994)
Data typeItem
Example 1Zika virus (Q202864)Aedes aegypti (Q1148004)
Example 2yellow fever virus (Q836749)Aedes aegypti (Q1148004)
Example 3Dengue virus (Q476209)Aedes aegypti (Q1148004)
Example 4Plasmodium (Q130948)Anopheles (Q158597)
Planned useConnect manually pathogens and their vectors. Create structure for future integration with databases (e.g. VEuPathDB: the eukaryotic pathogen, vector and host bioinformatics resource center (Q112066091)
See alsohost (P2975), disease transmission process (P1060), natural reservoir of (P1606), has natural reservoir (P1605)

Motivation edit

While similar properties are available, there is no clear way to represent pathogen-vector relations on Wikidata.

The pathogen-vector relation is important for understanding all types of diseases, property would make the process of documenting the relation quite straightforward.

Although there are multiple definitions of a vector (see What is a vector? (Q30252972) for multiple perspectives), there is some degree of consensus and the concept is widely used.

Support if this does not exist I thought I saw this proposed or created since COVID, but I might be misremembering. It obviously needs to exist. The current description says that a vector needs to be a taxon, but I provided an example otherwise with the necktie example. Objects can be a vector for disease transmission also. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:10, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. If a necktie can be considered a vector or not depends on the definition, but I agree that it is the case under some definitions. I guess the description should be taken with a grain of salt in this case, but feel free to word it better. TiagoLubiana (talk) 21:12, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Great, seems cool, proceed Bluerasberry (talk) 18:52, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-   Support --Andrawaag (talk) 19:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-   Support and I wouldn't encourage using specific things like necktie as object in the example. The general term for objects as vector is fomite (Q3075150). --SCIdude (talk)


@TiagoLubiana, Bluerasberry, SCIdude, ChristianKl:   Done as has biological vector (P11231) but I kept the narrow (taxonomic) definition of a vector according to the voices in the discussion. Please don't use for neckties etc.Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 18:41, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
