How do mosquito's carry the Westnile virus?
West Nile virus is caused by a bite from an infected mosquito that's already carrying the virus, but it's important to remember that not all mosquitoes are infected. Essentially, its a disease that a mosquito gets, like a cold. Then, passes it on.

About Mosquito
Mosquitos have been an irritant for the human species since the beginning of time. They bite, they cause itchy bumps, they keep us awake at night with their buzzing, and they are the carriers of disease like yellow fever, dengue fever, and malaria.
About West Nile Virus
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) West Nile virus (WNV) is a potentially serious seasonal (summer/fall) illness for which there is no specific treatment. Avoid mosquito bites by using repellent and wearing long sleeves. In mild cases people experience symptoms such as fever and aches that pass on their own, although even healthy people have become sick for several weeks.
