Do mosquitos carry diseases from human to human?

Answer 1

Umm I don't know what these other people are talking about. Mosquitos and tick carry disease from animal to person or from person to person. If mosquitos suck the blood of someone with malaria, the parasite lives in the mosquitos saliva glanda until the mosquito feeds on the next human. Ticks carry lyme disease from deer to human.

Answer 2

Technically yes, but only certain diseases (small enough to enter the mosquito & potent enough to be infectious with a tiny amount of contact).
A partial list of mosquito-borne diseases can be found here: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/list_mosquitoborne.htm
They can also transmit West Nile Virus, but the rate of infection in humans is still so low that I doubt the spread of it is coming from human infection sources.

Please be aware that when a mosquito "bites" you, your blood goes into the mosquito's body. It is only the females that bite, because they need protein to produce eggs. They get the protein from your blood. Once the blood is "digested" and the proteins used to make eggs, the mosquito will bite again to make more eggs. When they bite a second (or subsequent) time, they are *not* injecting you with another person's (or animal's) blood. They inject you with their saliva, which contains an anticoagulant and prevents your blood from clotting so they can suck it up without the wound closing on them. If a mosquito picked up a virus or parasite (they transmit heart worm in cats & dogs), that virus or parasite will be in their body and is transferred to you through their saliva. Not all viruses can be absorbed by the mosquito and therefore not all of them can be transmitted.

Answer 3

Yes, they most certainly do. When building the panama canal literally tens of thousands died because of mosquitos carrying malaria from one person to the next.
Mosquitos also carry West Nile Virus and can transmit that from human to human. Almost any blood born disease can be transmitted by mosquitos from one human host to another.

Answer 4

nope - but they carry disease from mosquito to human, such as in the case of west nile virus. a mosquito carries the virus, bites a human, and the human becomes infected.

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

yes the do misquotes suck in blood and that blood goes from person to person !!!!

Answer 7

nope
