Mosquitos don't have much of a life span, so evolution of their species can happen a hell of a lot faster than say with us. So if one managed to develop some kind of natural immunity to the virus or at least some way of it not dying by coming into contact with it, then I suppose it's a possibility.

A pretty scary possibility!

Mosquitos attack only warm or sweaty objects(those with blood circulation) as far as i know. So i dont think mosquitos would bite zeds. Although if they would then they either die or carry the infection thus spreading it if biting another (living) person during its short lifespan.

I think it's a sound theory. At the very least, it seems logical to take precautions.

I would have to say "no" on insect bites. But I think if a animal was eating on a zombie, there might be the risk from the animal bite.

According "the manual" (The Zombie Survival guide p.4 section 4) non-human hosts die within hours of infection vs. humans can last 3-5 years (until body breakdown). Also, test showed parasitic insects (MO'ski'TOES!) rejected the infected host 100% of the time. ;)
