What is the Altitude limit for mosquitoes in Colorado?
According to the Colorado State University Extension page on West Nile Virus:
Mosquitos can live at least to 10,000 feet:
Culex tarsalis, one of the main West Nile virus vectors, commonly occurs up to altitudes of 8,500 feet and is found as high as 10,000 feet above sea level. Other potential vectors are more common above 8,500 feet and can be found well above this elevation. On the other hand, the transmission season becomes shorter as elevation increases, which probably reduces risk significantly. Given the lack of knowledge and experience with this disease in Colorado, it is prudent to use an effective repellent when mosquitoes are active, even at these higher elevations.

Life cycle of the anopheles mosquito parasite?
An infected female anopheles mosquito injects the parasite into a human. Once in the human, the parasite infects the liver and ruptures and multiplies, eventually infecting red blood cells. Once in the red blood cells, they rupture and multiply again. This stage is when disease manifests itself. At this point, once a mosquito lands on the human and drinks the blood, the parasites repopulate in the mosquito and the cycle begins again.
Why didnt Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Mosquito eggs are needed to feed crayfish, dragonflies and frogs. Flying mosquitoes are food for frogs, bats and birds, especially purple martins.

ofcourse there are! there are mosquitoes all over the world.

There are other forums that discuss this in meaningful detail - Google it. Generally, mosquitos are not a huge problem in Paris except in July and August, especially August. Dordogne has a more significant problem. From what I read, it's way worse in Toronto than in Paris - which is probably the kind of information the person who asked the question is seeking. Paris does quite a bit to try and control mosquitoes. The nearer you are to the river, the more there are, etc.
