No, mosquitoes do not carry mad cow disease. Mad cow disease, or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), is caused by prions that affect cattle and is not transmitted by insects. The disease primarily spreads through the consumption of infected animal products. Mosquitoes are not involved in the transmission of prion diseases like mad cow disease.
