Vesicular Stomatitis is best described as which type of disease in terms of hosts?

Vesicular Stomatitis is a viral infection with a broad host range and zoonotic potential, typically transmitted by biting insects. It can affect a wide array of wild species as well as domestic animals like horses and cattle, and humans can become infected as well. Therefore, it is best described as a vector-borne viral disease affecting a wide range of wild animals, horses, and humans. It is not a bacterial skin infection, not a plant virus, and not restricted to humans.
