I knew AIDS wasn't carried by mosquitos when made the first posting.
Let me restate the "what if":  "What if another disease as nasty as AIDS
comes along, which CAN be spread by mosquitos?".

Do you think it's possible?  Likely?  Inevitable?  (With five billion
people on the planet and lots of international travel, why hasn't it
already happened?)
