Hmm, so if a disease organism is transmitted through bodily fluids, and a mosquito bites someone with ebola, what is in that mosquito? If it bites something else, why couldn't a virus be passed onto the second host? if a needle stuck into a person suffering from ebola can pass the virus onto someone else that needle is later applied to, why would this mechanism fail in the case of the "needle" of a mosquito?
