Special mosquitoes wouldn’t have done the Germans any good except maybe in the Russian rear late in the war after it was obvious that Germany was irreversibly on the defensive.

The Pripet marshes were partisan strongholds in the USSR. This might have been the objective. Also, I read that the Germans did introduce malarial mosquitos in Italy in partisan infested areas.
