    Mosquitoes are just the transfer vector, virus do the killing. Virus are not animals and it’s debatable if they are even alive.

      Guns are just the transfer vector for bullets and the hippos are just a transfer vector for physics. The spread of malaria (as one example) is directly caused by mosquitos and nobody serious would argue that point.
