Notice of death from mosquito bite (4)

I believe the answer is:

obit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'notice of death' is the definition.
'obit' can be an answer for 'notice' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'of death' bit.

'from mosquito bite' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'OBIT' is hidden within 'mosquito bite'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obit that I've seen before include "Short version of brief article written about dead person" , "Remarks on passing" , "Notice, of late" , "tribute" , "newspaper article" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
