Answer

The primary vector that can mechanically transmit the bacteria causing typhoid fever is the housefly.

While the causative agent is the bacterium Salmonella Typhi, and the disease is primarily spread through contaminated food and water (fecal-oral route), flies can act as mechanical vectors by transferring the bacteria from fecal matter to food.
