Being ignorant of biology, I wonder if this should be moved to "Vector (biology)" for the same reason the stupidly named article "Mathematical group" was moved to "Group (mathematics)" a few eons ago? Michael Hardy 23:15 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)

I think this should be moved to "vector (biology)" too. If nobody objects, I'll do it myself soon; and fix any links, of course. -- Hadal 12:42, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Split into two?

Apart from both being in the field of biological science, there doesn't seem to be much in common between the vector of disease spreading and the use of vectors in genetics. Should the page be split into two new pages? 203.34.41.43 00:06, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] a joke

Question: What is common between a mathematical vector and a biological vector?

Ans: They could both mulitply.
