'mosquito-linked' originates from the combination of 'mosquito' and 'linked', where 'mosquito' refers to the insect known for biting and transmitting diseases, and 'linked' means connected or associated.

The term 'mosquito-linked' evolved from the need to describe phenomena or conditions associated with mosquitoes, especially in medical and environmental contexts.

Initially, it meant 'connected to mosquitoes', and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
