You can get: West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Japanese Encephalitis Virus, La Crosse Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, Western Equine Encephalitis, Dengue Fever, Malaria, Rift Valley Fever, and Yellow Fever Heartworm (dogs)
Mosquitoes carry a number of diseases. The most prevalent is "malaria", but there is also: Chikungunya Dog Heartworm Dengue Yellow fever Eastern Equine Encephalitis St. Louis Encephalitis LaCrosse Encephalitis Western Equine Encephalitis West Nile virus Japanese Encephalitis
Mosquitoes are the vectors (carriers) of a number of human diseases. The most common pathogen they carry is the protozoa that causes malaria. They can also carry the virus for yellow fever and dengue fever. More rare viral diseases such as Rift valley fever or the West Nile virus are also carried by some species of mosquitoes. Dengue fever and Yellow fever can be transmitted by mosquitoes. Various forms of encephalitis can be transmitted by mosquitoes, among them Eastern equine encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, La crosse encephalitis and St Louis encephalitis. Many people do not realize mosquitoes are also known carriers of dog heartworm disease. The HIV virus does not survive inside mosquitoes so they cannot spread it. In Australia, mosquitoes are carriers of the Ross River Fever and Barmah Forest virus.
Mosquitoes are not known as vectors for smallpox. Smallpox is caused by the variola virus, which is primarily transmitted between humans through respiratory droplets, rather than through insect vectors like mosquitoes. In contrast, dengue fever, yellow fever, and western equine encephalitis are all transmitted by mosquitoes.
It causes a disease called malaria,i think!!!malariaThe anopheles mosquito's carries the disease of yellow feverMalariamalaria - assuming it was an infected carrier

Malaria killed many workers on the Panama Canal. However, when Dr William Gorgas discovered that mosquitoes transmitted malaria and yellow fever, he was assigned the task of eliminating this threat for worker through fumigation of mosquito infested areas.
Yellow fever was the disease that Walter Reed discovered was transmitted by a mosquito. This disease was a particular problem during the construction of the Panama Canal.
Yellow fever is caused by the yellow fever virus, which is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes, primarily Aedes aegypti. Encephalitis can be caused by various viruses, including arboviruses and herpes simplex virus, often transmitted through mosquito bites or direct contact. Measles is caused by the measles virus, a highly contagious virus that spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Vaccination is key in preventing measles and reducing the risk of severe outcomes from these diseases.
The AIDS virus cannot survive in a mosquito's system. However, viruses like West Nile, Yellow fever and Malaria can.
If the mosquito is carrying a disease (which it can) when it bites you, i could inject it into your blood, and you get sick and could die Ex: malaria (yellow fever), lyme disease and so on
