The mosquito and the zombie virus
Popular media these days depicts the zombie outbreak coming in the form of a virus that once infected will cause you to turn into a zombie upon your death/cause you to die and turn into a zombie.
Has the whole transmission through mosquitoes thing been visited? I'm sure they would be carriers of the virus and it would make it much easier to "get bit". |

RE: The mosquito and the zombie virus
depends on if the viruse can live outside the body or not.
IE.. you don't see rabies cases from mosquito bites.. ( that I am aware of ). some viri are realitively fragile outside the host, and become inactive fast after leaving the host. |

The Newsflesh trilogy has it as an important plot event in one of its books.

RE: The mosquito and the zombie virus
if you get their saliva in an open wound or I presume a mucus membrain ( eye, mouth, etc.. ) I imagine that is a positive transfer.
