"The big biological question was would the mosquitoes become infected before going into hibernation?

Mosquitoes become carriers of the virus when they bite a bird that has the virus.
This reduces the transmission of malaria, first, by killing mosquitoes that have not yet become infected, and, second, by killing infected mosquitoes before the parasite's development is finished and thus before the mosquitoes become infectious.
ITNs provide little or no protection once the mosquitoes become resistant and the netting acquires holes.
In contrast, more than half the mice bitten by normal mosquitoes became infected.
Within just a few generations, nearly all of the caged mosquitoes became infected with the bacterium.
Once the mortality rate of the mosquito becomes large with a small specific rate of maturation, the invasive mosquito will go extinct.
