Mosquitos are very important in the food chain, but what is smallpox, etc good for?

Well, they're great for scientific study, that's for sure.  But, Smallpox, Polio etc... are already frozen at numerous sites for just such a reason (also, in case a future outbreak occurs so we have samples on hand).
