Disease-spreading insect (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mosquito

'disease-spreading insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mosquito that I've seen before include "Malaria transmitter" , "Sucker" , "possible disease carrier" , "Insect, the female of which sucks blood" , "Disease-bearing insect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
