Question Dinosaur Bugged to Death?

From the Daily Mail:

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

"The theory goes that dinosaurs were wiped out after an asteroid smashed into the Earth 65million years ago.

"But now it has been suggested they were sent into eternity by an equally catastrophic but somewhat smaller threat - biting insects.

"Disease spread by mosquitoes, mites and ticks was probably the major factor that finished off the reptiles, say scientists.

"The insects could have also made it harder for dinosaurs to survive by changing the nature of plant life. "
