  1. They bite their victim and it travels through their blood. Mosquitoes also spread the West Nile virus.

  2. When a mosquitoe lands on it's victim it will bite the victim then spreading the virus and infecting the person. Mosquitoes also cary West Nile virus and I think also Lyme disease.

  6. The mosquitoes bite their victum and if the mosquitoe is infected with yellow fever, the victum will be, too. Dr. Reed was ahead of his time. He thought bleeding people would get ride of the infected blood. He also thought the heart would produce more blood, but this takes more than just the natural power of the heart.
