Did mozzies, not a meteor, do for the dinosaurs?

"Did mozzies, not a meteor, do for the dinosaurs?" an article from January 6, 2008 found in the Daily Mail, shows how today, scientists are beginning to believe that the cause of dinosaur extinction may not have been caused by massive meteors or volcano eruptions;instead the cause being nothing but the bite of a tiny insect-a mosquito. Since mosquito's are known for carrying and passing on diseases, the unknown author, who refers to "husband-and-wife team" George and Roberta Poinar as his/her main reference, suggests that the mosquitoes from that time era may have infected enormous dinosaurs the size of "double deckered buses," with deadly diseases. Throughout recent research, different types of malaria dysentery have been found in insects preserved in amber organisms. With this new information, scientists have begun to share their opinions on the new theory, and believe that if it were to be true, then dinosaurs may have slowly died out from several other diseases they may have become infected with. According to the Daily Mail, how dinosaurs died out, still has no exact explanation, but if people begin to believe this new theory, it can be that great controversies may begin to arise on this matter.

Question: With this new theory, will scientists begin to research more on the topic and lead people to believe/change their perspective on how dinosaurs became extinct?
Will people begin to fear that mosquitoes may slowly die out the human race just as they are said to have done with dinosaurs?
Why were the mosquito's being examined at the time this discovery was made?
